Cabbage, Potatoes and Other Demons by Şerban Georgescu

CLUJ-NAPOCA: The documentary Cabbage, Potatoes and Other Demons by Şerban Georgescu will screen in the Romanian Days competition of the 16th Transilvania International Film Festival (TIFF) from 8 to 10 June 2017. The festival will run this year from 2 to 11 June. The film is a Romanian/German coproduction about a Romanian village with 5,000 inhabitants and almost 1,000 tractors.

The villagers of Lunguleţu produce more than 200,000 tons of potatoes and cabbages from 3,000 hectares of land. Just one percent of its inhabitants have left the village in the last 10 years. The filming lasted one year, aiming to discover why the inhabitants live in debt despite opportunities for a good life.

Georgescu produced through his company Kolectiv in coproduction with Romania’s Elefant Film and Germany’s Ma.ja.de Filmproduktion. Bogdan Slăvescu is the DoP.

Cabbage, Potatoes and Other Demons / Varză, cartofi și alți demoni was selected for Documentary Campus Masterschool 2013. It was nominated for best documentary at the 11th edition of Gopo Awards 2017 and also in the short and long documentary category at the 45th edition of the Filmmakers Union (UCIN) Awards 2017.
