  • Doru POP the “Trans National Turn”. New Urban Identities
    The “Trans national Turn”. 9 New Urban Identities and theI. TransformationCreating of thethe Romanian Space Contemporary Cinema Doru POP The “Trans national Turn”. New Urban Identities and the Transformation of the Romanian Contemporary Cinema Abstract The pressure of globalization and the transformations of the international film markets are rapidly changing the recent Romanian cinema. In a period spanning from 2010 to 2014, the paper describes same of the most important transformations, visible early on in productions like Marţi după Crăciun (Tuesday after Christmas) and even more importantly in a film like Poziţia copilului (Child’s Pose). The process, called by the author “the transnational turn” of the Romanian film, is characterized by the fact that urban spaces become more and more neutral and generic and the stories are increasingly de-contextualized. Designed for international markets, these films are changing both the set- ting and the mise-en-scène, creating a non specific space which is more likely to be accepted by cinema goers around the world. The second argument is the present generation Romanian cinema makers are moving even further, they are choosing to abandon the national cinema. As Elisabeth Ezra and Terry Rowden noted in their introduction to the classical reader on “transnational cinema”, another major aspect is that the recent films are increasingly indicating a certain “Hollywoodization” of their storytelling, and, implicitly, of the respective urban contexts of their narratives. This impact goes beyond genrefication, and, as is the case with productions like Love building (2013), which are using both cosmopolitan behaviors and non-specific urban activities, are manifestations of deep transformations in the Romanian cinema.

  • Romanian and Hungarian Film Cultures at the Transilvania International Film Festival
    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF MEDIA STUDIES www.necsus-ejms.org Romanian and Hungarian film cultures at the Transilvania International Film Festival NECSUS 6 (1), Spring 2017: 219–225 URL: https://necsus-ejms.org/romanian-and-hungarian-film-cul- tures-at-the-transilvania-international-film-festival/ Keywords: culture, film festival, Hungary, Romania, Transilvania An arguably late arrival in the film festival circuit (first organised in 2002), the Transilvania International Film Festival[1] has been a significant date on the FIAPF calendar since 2011. The medium-sized and competitive Roma- nian film festival has its focus on first and second feature films by filmmakers from virtually all around the globe while also paying hommage to acclaimed personalities of European cinema. Furthermore, it serves as a hub for all things related to Romanian cinema and as such has become a staple in the Central and Eastern European region for both local audiences and interested film professionals.[2] A confusion surrounding its acronymic abbreviation is rather telling: at the regional or country level most people refer to it as ’TIFF’, irrespective of the language they speak – though this acronym by and large is reserved for the Toronto International Film Festival. Therefore, in this essay ’Transilvania IFF’ will be used. Another linguistic issue relates to its official naming, where instead of ’Transylvania’ the Romanian spelling of the region has been pre- ferred – reminiscent of a national (i.e. Romanian) component which reasserts, in my view, its country-affiliation and thereby denigrating any confusion re- lated to both the historical region and the festival concept as well.
