Back in his home country, the director chose to talk less about the awards he won and more about the problems that in his opinion hinder the development of Romanian cinema. He gave a press conference in a place laden with symbolic value for the world of Romanian cinema, namely the Studio cinema hall in central Bucharest. This auditorium, which was once the venue of choice for hosting festivals, film openings and public events, has been closed for many years. Mungiu says that recent years have seen not only the disappearance of buildings, but also an entire culture of going to the cinema. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Many <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">cities <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">around the country have no actual cinema hall and <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">entire generations have grown up without constant access to film screenings.

Cristian Mungiu argues that the entire <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">system of film funding <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">needs reform. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">He spoke about t<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">he fund<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">ing t<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">hat, according to the law, should <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">go<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> the Cinema Fund and that never reached <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">it<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">. In his opinion, this is one of the fastest measures through which the industry could benefit from additional resources. At the same time, <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">he<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> says that the state must support culture <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">in a more palpable way<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">, by updating the Cinematography Law and adapting it to new forms of media consumption, such as streaming platforms and digital advertising.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Mungiu advocates for clear and predictable rules in granting funding and for a framework that allows for the long-term development of the industry. The director also spoke about the lack of a premiere hall in the capital. Currently, organizing a major premiere involves high costs and improvised solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">In his opinion, Romania needs a long-term cultural strategy and predictable rules for financing projects, not exceptional measures taken only when a film achieves international success. After the appeal to the authorities, Cristian Mungiu also spoke about the project that brought him back to the attention of major international festivals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">His new film, &#8220;Fjord&#8221;, is set to enter a wide international promotion circuit, which will take place in the coming period. Until the official release in Romania, Romanian viewers will have the opportunity of seeing the film in a special screening. Cristian Mungiu says that Fjord starts from a contemporary reality marked by tensions and the lack of dialogue between social groups.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Cristian Mungiu<\/strong>:\u201d <em>I&#8217;m not naive and I don&#8217;t imagine that, after we screen this film, which is in a way an exhortation to tolerance, people will go out in the streets hugging each other, those from different wings of the political spectrum. No! But it&#8217;s a film about fundamentalism in thought. And fundamentalism is neither left nor right. Fundamentalism is a way of thinking where you think you are right and the other person is wrong. I stand against this issue and that is what the film is about. It is an invitation for everyone to do their own analysis and see where they stand. I do not expect that a film can produce, in a statistically significant way, a change in society, obviously not. But, on the other hand, it is very disappointing to see that a film that urges tolerance ends up being met with hate before people have even seen it.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">In the director&#8217;s view, the film does not provide definitive answers, but opens an area for reflection on how current society functions. At the end of the conference, Cristian Mungiu&#8217;s message was simple: international awards bring visibility, but they cannot replace investments and reforms. And if the success of Romanian films continues to be appreciated in the world, says the director, the time has come for the Romanian cinematographic infrastructure to keep up with the prestige that these films bring to the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">(CM&amp;bill)<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>His success at the Cannes Festival has brought Cristian Mungiu back into the international spotlight, after winning his second Palme d\u2019Or with a film he wrote and directed, Fjord.
