Tuesday, March 31, 2015

Gopo Awards Gala, organised on Monday 30 March at the National Theatre in , was dominated by director 's film, "Closer to the Moon", which left the ceremony with 9 prizes. The prize for film direction, received by Nae Caranfil personally, was awarded by the chief executive officer of Dacia, Nicolas Maure. Another remarkable film which won no less than 5 prizes was “Quod Erat Demonstrandum (QED)”, directed by Andrei Gruzsniczki.

“I am honoured to be here and to see many personalities stepping down on the red carpet from Dacia cars. I said in an interview for Ziarul Financiar that also needs other image vectors in addition to Dacia. Film is a very good ambassador of Romania abroad, particularly in Europe, and I encourage you to make many good films to get as many awards as possible”, said Nicolas Maure.

The award winners of the evening included: Florin Piersic jr (best actor in the leading role), Ofelia Popii (best actress in a leading role), Virgil Ogăşanu (best actor in a supporting role), Alina Berzunţeanu (best actress in a supporting role), film director Alexander Nanău (the best documentary film “Toto and his sisters”), Radu Jude (best fiction short film). The organisers also awarded two prizes for the entire career to actresses Coca Bloos and Eugenia Bosânceanu.

The event, presented by Paul Ipate and Diana Cavaliotti, was broadcast live on TVR2 and attracted many participants from the cinema, theatre, media, television and the business environment.

Dacia has been the main sponsor of the Gopo Awards for eight editions now; within this partnership the car manufacturer awards the prize for film direction and makes available to the organisers a vehicle fleet for the transfer of nominees and award winners. Four Dacia Duster and three Sandero Stepway cars provided the transport of guests both to the event and at the brunch offered by the company to the nominees on Saturday, before the Gala.

The Gopo Awards, as well as the “Gaudeamus” book fair, the “Classic is fantastic” project, the tours “Enescu's violin in villages”, “The Violin Duel”, “The Golden Flute” and “The Travelling Piano” are the main cultural projects supported by Dacia in Romania.
