Mungiu and Uricaru place Bogdan Apetri in the 'Outskirts'

Tales from the Golden Age's Cristian Mungiu and Ioana Uricaru (one of the several co-directors that participated in the deadpan, short film collage on some of the blunders in Romanian's past) have collaborated on a screenplay that they have handed to fellow Romanian filmmaker Bogdan Apetri. This is Apetri's feature length debut.

Shooting on Outskirts began this week and he is working with Marius Panduru (who worked on Cannes-winning Policie, Adjective and Berlin Film Fest-winning The Happiest Girl in the World) this is about the people who inhabit the neighborhoods of Bucharest, who are caught in this strange and claustrophobic space. Alexandru Teodorescu and Daniel Burlac are producing, while Josef Aichholzer is co-producing. With the exception of Tales, this is the first time that Mungiu (featured above) writes a screenplay that he didn't direct.

Apetri's roadmap includes a stopover at Columbia University where he studied directing and cinematography, he was a Student Academy Awards nominee in 2006 and his shorts A Very Small Trilogy of Loneliness (2006) and Last Day of December (2008) have played on the festival circuit.

Reviews

Review: Spring Fever

Review: Spring Fever

A heavily flawed film that does a disservice to its quintet of characters by abruptly ending each character's final chapter before it even begins making Spring Fever a film that never manages to find itself. Audiences who've followed his past efforts such as Purple Butterfly and Summer Palace will be puzzled by erotica without reason, by the undefined terms in which the characters are set in and the lack of dramatic focus.

Interview: Amir Bar-Lev (The Tillman Story)

Pat has a very wide appeal and people who admire him come from different parts of ideological spectrum. So we didn't want to alienate a part of our audience because the film is about Pat more than anything. So we wanted to invite everybody to the dialogue of what actually happened to him and the country at the time.
