Shadow of a Cloud tells the story of a priest, played by theater director Alexandru Dabija, who, on a torrid summer day, is called to say a prayer to a woman on her deathbed, while In the Fishtank is the story of a couple trying to break up.
In addition, Romanian film director Cristian Mungiu is a member of the official jury of the Cannes Film festival, alongside international movie stars such actress Nicole Kidman, Taiwanese filmmaker Ang Lee and Austrian actor Cristoph Waltz.
Anca Puiu was selected in the Producers on the Move programme
Romanian producer Anca Puiu, the head of the Mandragora production company, was selected to take part in the European Film Promotion (EFP) programme PRODUCERS ON THE MOVE, now in its 14th year at the film festival in Cannes.
The group of former participants includes such internationally known and award-winning producers as Ada Solomon from Romania (Child's Pose), Bettina Brokemper from Germany (Bal), Louise Vesth from Denmark (Melancholia) and Siniša Juričić from Croatia (Sofia’s Last Ambulance).
