  • The 67 Berlinale—here we are. About half a million film fans per year get to watch movies at what is allegedly the world’s largest festival based on actual attendance. Importantly, symbolically, this huge event takes place right at the heart of Europe—a Europe that’s in as much geopolitical turmoil as the rest of today’s world.

    The Scena9 Berlinale story starts in a town at the heart of Transylvania, where a bunch of my festival frequenting friends said, “Oh, we should totes go to Berlin in February.” On more or less of a whim and feeling very cosmopolitan about it, I said, “Oh, yeah, totes”. Come January, the tickets had been purchased and the press pass applied for.  As we left, protests over a controversial emergency government ordinance were well underway in our hometown of Bucharest. It felt unfair to jump ship and go live in cinemas for ten days—but, as expected, the main hashtag of the Romanian protests, #rezist, was also present on the red carpet in Potsdamer Platz.

    Stay tuned, more to come on the Romanian presence at this year’s Berlinale in future coverage.

    So, then, the 67 Berlinale—here we are. Five days into it, I’ve seen far less of over-ground Berlin than I had hoped I would. I also realized I’d set the bar far too high on the number of films I’d be able to fit in one day. I’d bar-hopped a little, slept a little, drank a fair bit, and smoked accordingly. I slowly grew to like Berlin, in spite of the cold. In spite of how utterly overwhelming it all is. To stay afloat, I tapped into some basic resources for (would-be cosmopolitan) urban survival. Here is what I’ve learned—and what movies I managed to catch in between my lessons:

    1. Get maps.

    Get Google Maps. Get a mobile data plan. Get roaming. Print out a map. Get a travel guide. Don’t lose the festival guide, which includes a detailed map of all the locations of the screening venues.

    On our first evening in Potsdamer Platz, we asked four festival volunteers at four dif

    If there are two shots that you want to really consider in a film, it’s the first and last shot. The first usually informs what the text is about, and likely contains some sort of symbolic meaning for the larger whole. The last shot usually closes the loop. The opening shot of Paul Negosecu’s Men of Deeds is of a truck ferrying chickens along a highway. One of the chickens falls out of the bed after the truck hits a speed bump. In doing so, Negosecu sets up the film as being a text about how the bumps of society leave some behind.

    In Men of Deeds, the chicken left behind is Ille (Iulian Postelnicu), a small-town police chief. Ille can hardly be considered a success. He’s in his mid-thirties. His family life has fallen apart. His entire motivation seems to centre around building an orchard in the countryside for himself. There’s something pastoral about the whole endeavour; maybe, just maybe, this will make him a man.

    Ille’s incapacity to see what is around him works on a narrative and thematic level. I love when the larger structure of films is crucial to understanding the film itself. There’s a scene where Ille is chastising the son of a widow by providing stereotypical, “man of the house now” truisms. He calls it foundational; societally speaking, it probably is. But it’s clear that Ille failed at maintaining that foundation throughout his life, which makes the repetition of such a comment crucial to understanding his character. Really, he’s just trying to convince himself to stay with the other chickens, that the path is still the path. Meanwhile, the widow and the local church authorities proceed to have a violent screaming match outside, which reaches such a fever pitch it begins to drown out Ille’s sermonizing.

    It’s a wonderful sequence, and one that is impressively subtle in its construction. Its implications suggest that Ille is blind to the actual machinations of what is around him. It’s also a sequence that will be difficult to pick up on, and ma

    We looked around and we noticed how, in 2019, women in all fields (including those in the Romanian film industry) are still fighting for equality. Which, of course, we are sure it doesn’t come as a novelty.

    If you gather all the members of the Romanian Film Development Association team, you will get a total of 10 women and a boy (Alex, thank you for being with us). We think that’s a good thing. But how would a world where women have most of the leadership positions would look like, every day? We think it wouldn’t be that bad either.

    But maybe we’re not right. Maybe it would be idealistic, unbalanced and wrong. Let’s not do this imagination test alone. So we asked some of the successful women in the Romanian film industry how they imagine this world where women have the last word.

    Here’s what they answered:

    How do you think a world where most of the leaders are women would look like?

    Iulia Rugina (director)

    I think an unbalanced world is, from start, a dysfunctional one. A majority of leading women is as extreme as a majority of leading men and I wouldn’t be so radical in this fight for equality. I think there are jobs for which a woman is more competent than a man and the other way around. But this is not about intelligence or qualities, often it is about the physical side (and here I think it’s absurd to put the equal sign between men and women), comfort, personal choices. General statements such as “women are more sensitive”, “men are more practical”, “women park their cars badly”, “men do not understand anything”, etc. I find them superficial and dangerous, any side they would come from. I have often heard about my job as being a man job and I have never got upset about it because it has never come as an issue me not being capable on the reason that I am a woman and thus I am inferior, the issue would be strictly related to the physical aspect. The fact that you are gone for a long
