Romanian cinema at Toronto International Film Festival 2016
There is no shortage of Romanian cinema at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival. And that’s the way it should be!
Corneliu Porumboiu presents THE TREASURE at the Toronto International Film Festival 2015
Romanian director Corneliu Porumboiu was warmly received last night at the Toronto International Film Festival 2015, with his most recent movie The Treasure.
He was here in Toronto before, but the presenter had some great words about Corneliu.
This was the second of three projections for THE TREASURE at TIFF 2015, on the evening of Thursday 17 September 2015.

Radu Muntean debuts at Toronto International Film Festival with ONE FLOOR BELOW
I learned a valuable lesson about movies during my formative years, while sinking deep into productions by the likes of Ingmar Bergman, Michelangelo Antonioni or Andrei Tarkovski.

One Floor Below – which had its North American premiere at TIFF on Saturday 12 September 2015 (a second screening is on Monday 14 Sep at 8:45 AM at the AGO), also bringing Romanian director Radu Muntean for the first time in Toronto – is of the latter type.
Here is what happened last night.
