The Romanian New Wave with Mihai Chirilov

On this episode of JBFC Podcast, we sit down with our International Programmer-in-Residence, Mihai Chirilov. A co-founder and artistic director of the Transylvania International Film Festival, Mihai programmed all of the films in our Tales from the Golden Age: New Romanian Cinema series. Using Cristi Puiu's Marfa si banii (Stuff and Dough) as a starting point, Mihai discusses the circumstances surrounding the Romanian cinema revolution, Romania's ever-growing presence in the global film community, and the rise of the Transylvania International Film Festival.   For more information on Romanian film and culture, please visit the Romanian Cultural Institute's website.
