Intensive Romanian Cluj

Long jail terms for fuel attack on prostitute

Florentina M. sustained serious burns in the attack outside a night club in Vienna-Favoriten in May 2010. The woman had to be treated in intensive care for more than two weeks. The 36-year-old – who left Austria to settle in her native Romania after her release from hospital – was defaced in the petrol attack. She did not appear in court in Vienna yesterday (Thurs). Her statement was recorded on film and shown to the jury panel. Main suspect Bodgan Negrei – who was arrested in Vienna-Alsergrund by a special police unit a few days after the fuel assault – was found guilty of attempted murder. His cousin, 30, was sentenced to eight years in prison for assisting him in the incident. Negrei’s lawyer Rudolf Mayer asked the court for three days to think over whether to appeal the verdict. Mayer has become a household name in Austria for presenting some of the country’s most infamous criminals in court. He also acted as legal representative of incest offender Josef Fritzl who was sentenced to life in prison in 2009. Judge Roland Weber heard that Negrei had attempted to intimidate and attack his victim many times before pouring high-percentage alcohol in her face. His cousin set her hair alight moments before he threw a glassful of car fuel into her face. Florentina M. reportedly refused to hand over a regular "fee" to the self-styled red-light district gang chief to get his green light to keep working as a prostitute.

Independent theater in the red carpet world | culture360.org

Where I had the opportunity to collaborate with the biggest and most well recognized festival in Romania.

When I received the collaboration proposal from TIFF, many questions came to my mind, for example: Why theater at one of the biggest film festivals in Eastern Europe? What does it bring to the audience in addition to the movie projections? Who does the theatre section address? What is the purpose of the theatre section? In 2011 it was the anniversary edition of TIFF (10 years), and it was decided to create a diverse programme, rich in proposals that the audience wouldn’t expect. When I saw a part of the program I liked the idea very much, and I embraced the concept without finding the answers to all my questions.

The first class quality of the movies presented over the years at TIFF has brought the festival into the national and international public eye. Cluj-Napoca is the second most important historical and cultural city in Romania and the third most important city economically. Until TIFF, the citizens didn’t have a festival of such a high aesthetical and international quality. It was very well received by both the audience and the authorities. In a short time it has become a success by attracting a public not only from Cluj-Napoca, but also from other cities in Romania and professionals from other countries, becoming a reference for the cinematography world in Eastern Europe.

For the citizens of Cluj-Napoca, the festival is the major event of the year, a moment of intense cultural interaction where they can also socialize among the film stars. There are even some people in the city who take time off from work just to have the opportunity to see many films and to have a good time in the atmosphere of the festival. The public is very diverse, from movie amateurs and those faithful to the festival  to those who are interested in glam events – parties, opening/closing gala evenings. Generally the audience of TIFF belongs to the medium or above medium income bracket and is interested in spending their free time wisely.

The festival has evolved very much in the last ten years and has contributed to the way that Romanian cinematography is viewed internationally, with a section that is especially dedicated to Romanian directors. It also makes a contribution locally by developing a real movie audience in Transylvania. TIFF is an occasion for the Romanian movie world to meet, as they don’t have this opportunity in Bucharest where 99% of the movie industry has its activity. Practical, Cluj-Napoca is the right place for a ten day vacation for the Romanian cinematography industry and film-lovers, and is a good opportunity for the local economy to show off, to recognize the status of some of the local personalities and to highlight the life quality of the city.
