“The Romanian Film Centre is run by an idiot,” filmmaker Radu Jude, one of the eastern European country’s most successful recent international exports concluded at the tail end of a masterclass session he chaired at this year’s Locarno Film Festival.
Jude name-checked Anca Mitran, head of the Romanian Film Centre, during the session as he answered a question about what he described as the current difficulties of landing financing from institutions for experimental or unconventional projects. “They [Romanian Film Centre] will compare finished films with the screenplay a filmmaker submitted, and if there are any changes they will ask for their money back,” Jude told the enthusiastic audience, which included veteran producer Ted Hope.
Hope is part of Locarno’s industry advisory board. Jude returns to Locarno this year after snagging the Special Jury Prize in 2023 with Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World.
He will debut two films in competition at this year’s festival, Eight Postcards From Utopia, an experimental found-footage documentary, and Sleep #2, a meditative tribute to Andy Warhol.
