There's a burgeoning film scene in Romania.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In fact, it is amazing how much European films - Italian, French, German and English - have recovered a certain territory of the audience in their countries over the last few years.
In Europe, there are many filmmakers working in the same territory: immigration, and the things that are most disruptive to European life today. That's not a judgment. I think it's good that cinema looks at such things.
Nowadays they either want to move the film to Canada or in some cases they go to Prague or Romania or they want to keep 'em down in L.A.
Cinema is a worldwide phenomenon.
I'm really drawn to European films.
Film has to describe and show.
More than ever, Romania now needs to see that a force exists that puts an end to Ponta and Antonescu's abuses and coup d'etat. This force is none other than the Romanian people.
I love European films in general. If I were to go to the movie store or something, that's what I like to see.
My mom used to have a lot of European cinema playing in the house, so I'd catch bits and pieces of films.
To me, Helsinki is one big movie studio.
