Fipresci na Transilvania International Film Festival
Naša članica Veronika Zakonjšek je bila na letošnji 25. ediciji Transilvania International Film Festivala (TIFF) v Cluj-Napoci članica mednarodne filmsko-kritiške žirije FIPRESCI. TIFF, ustanovljen leta 2002, je največji mednarodni filmski festival v Romuniji in eden najpomembnejših filmskih dogodkov v regiji; vsako leto predstavlja več kot 250 filmov, s posebnim poudarkom na odkrivanju novih avtorskih glasov. Jubilejna 25. edicija je potekala med 12. in 21. junijem 2026.
FIPRESCI žirija je nagrado podeljevala znotraj tekmovalne sekcije Romanian Days (Zilele Filmului Românesc), ki predstavlja izbor najnovejše romunske kinematografije. Nagrado je prejel film Don’t Let Me Die (Andrei Epure, 2025) in sicer z naslednjo utemeljitvijo izbire:
“Shifting between reality and dreamlike ambiguity, this film explores themes of guilt and disconnection in contemporary society. Hints of vampirism remain elusive, while moments of unease emerge less from what is shown than from what is left unseen, as the protagonist embarks on an open-to-interpretation journey through her subconscious and surreal reality, brought to life through powerful visuals and a rich cinematic language.”
V svojem festivalskem poročilu za mednarodno federacijo FIPRESCI je Zakonjšek izpostavila tudi širši tematski lok letošnjega izbora Romanian Days:
“A clear thematic thread ran through the films presented in this year’s Romanian Days section at the Transilvania International Film Festival. Spanning fiction, documentary and hybrid forms, the programme of mostly debut films transported us into the country’s contemporary realities and into a past scarred by Ceaușescu’s dictatorship and Decree 770, which in 1967 criminalised abortion and severely restricted access to contraception, turning women’s bodies into instruments of state policy. What unfolded were films haunted by its consequences: overcrowded orphanages, abandoned children, deeply fractured families, but also adoptions, deaths and disappearances that continue to reverberate through Romania’s collective memory. They were films about grief, reconnection and the search for answers; about a young generation grappling with the country’s past, as well as with the values and beliefs held by their parents – people shaped by a different regime and raised in a reality very different from the one we know today.”
