Cristi Puiu

Cristi Puiu is one of the leading figures of what has been called the "Romanian new wave" that emerged in the early 2000s, authoring one of his emblematic works: The Death of Mr. Lazarescu (2005), a multi-award winning film that launched its festival tour after winning the Un Certain Regard award in Cannes (Puiu had made his debut in 2001 with Marfa si banii). These were followed by award-winning films such as Aurora, 2010, the precedent of Malmkrog Trois exercices d'interprétation (2013), one of the chapters of the collective film Ponts de Sarajevo (2014) and Sieranevada (2016), which won over twenty awards and was nominated to represent Romania at the Oscars. Malmkrog premiered in the new section of the Berlinale, Encounters, where it won the Best Director Award.
