New Romanian Shorts - Program 2

This broad package of Romanian shorts highlights the genre’s most recent standouts, ranging from striking animations and zany musicals to sharp social critiques and sympathetic stories about couples and families in crisis.

31 Hours

2021. Claudiu Mitcu. 21 m. Romania. Romanian with subtitles. Rated NR.

An overworked surgeon who has just come out of a 31-hour shift takes on a last minute emergency, but things end badly in this tense drama about guilt, deontological ethics, and the endemic corruption of the public health system.

I Am Dorin

2020. Valeriu Andriuță. 23 m. Romania/Moldova. Romanian with subtitles. Rated NR.

In this wild and humorous tale, a young man from the countryside accepts a sum of money in exchange for taking a bachelor’s degree exam in someone else’s stead, and has one night—and what a night it is!— to get in character.

No Singing After 8

2021. Alex Pintică. 20 m. Romania. Romanian with subtitles. Rated NR.

What happens when your heartbeats are no longer in harmony? You invite another couple over for dinner and let yourself go with the song’s flow, ignoring the rule in the title. What you get is a delightful musical about love and marriage.

Together

2020. Alma Buhagiar. 23 m. Romania. Romanian with subtitles. Rated NR.

A boy who lives with his father prepares to go on a holiday with his mother. It’s a deceptively simple story, whose microscopic details speak volumes about broken families and the impossibility of bringing them back together.
