Cristian Mungiu (*1968), Cristi Puiu (*1967), Corneliu Porumboiu (*1975) and Cristian Nemescu (1979-2006) who unfortunately died far too early
Cristian Mungiu (*1968), Cristi Puiu (*1967), Corneliu Porumboiu (*1975) and Cristian Nemescu (1979-2006) who unfortunately died far too early, are the young generation of filmmakers who have produced a remarkable abundance of shorts and full-length films. They concern themselves with the fusion of historical conditions and individual longings («California Dreamin' (Endless)»), illuminate the 1989 revolution from a variety of perspectives («12:08 East of Bucharest», «The Paper will be Blue» (only to bee seen in Zurich)) or grapple, in an original manner, with the social upheaval of the post-Communist era («Occident», «Trafic», «The Death of Mister Lăzărescu», «Humanitarian Aid»).
