Synopsis
We have especially high hopes for the young directors—coincidently both from Romania—of these accomplished, provocative mini-features. Free to all after passholders have been seated. THE TUBE WITH A HAT (d. Radu Jude, Romania, 2006, 23m) A boy and his father head to the city on a mysterious quest. Getting there, however, is only half of the struggle. A tough-sweet exploration of fatherhood. MARILENA DE LA P7 (d. Cristian Nemescu, Romania, 2006, 45m) To survive in his rough Bucharest neighborhood, the 13-year-old Andrei must talk tough, figure out girls and take some chances. From the director of C BLOCK STORY (TFF 2004). Additional support for Student Programs and Filmmakers of Tomorrow provided by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences and SAG Indie.
