FNE at Transilvania IFF Romanian Days: Teodora Siner

By FNE Staff

    {mosimage}CLUJ-NAPOCA: In the documentary Teodora Siner Christian Orthodox nuns in a Romanian monastery call each other "little mothers."

    They have renounced earthly trappings to wed the eternal. "God my sovereign, it is You I seek each and every morning. I hunger for You, and my body and soul tremble for You..." This is a film about the most beautiful among them and her marriage to God.

    Anca Hirte's 86 min documentary was produced by Richard Copans and Les Films d'Ici (www.lesfilmsdici.fr) together with Dan Burlac and Elefant Film, with a budget of 350,000 Euro. The project was supported by Yumi Productions, the French National Centre for Cinema (www.cnc.fr) and Zenith Media.

    Shooting started in 2007 and lasted for two years with Hirte also the DOP. Teodora Siner/ Păcătoasa Teodora has its first screening in Romania at ASTRA Film Festival 2011 where it was awarded ASTRA Film Prize in the Romanian competition. The film will be distributed in France by Shellac (www.shellac-altern.org) with a premiere expected soon.
