Paul Negoescu realized he hit the jackpot with “Two Lottery Tickets,” the low-budget comedy he shot for around €30,000 which – to the surprise of everyone, including the director himself – would become the top-grossing Romanian film of 2016, raking in €540,000 at the box office.
But for a helmer whose first feature, “A Month in Thailand,” screened in the Venice Film Festival’s Critics’ Week, a breakout, box-office hit didn’t change expectations for his third movie, “The Story of a Summer Lover,” which world premiered in the Transilvania Intl. Film Festival May 31.
“It’s a different film,” says Negoescu, calling “Summer Lover” a “personal story” that he suspects will appeal to a smaller, niche audience. Modest ambitions aside, the movie is bound to generate buzz off of Negoescu’s earlier successes; even if it can’t match “Lottery’s” big payout, “people will hear about this film, for sure,” he says.

Local and international executives come together at second Riding The Greek Wave conference organised by Hellenic Film Academy.
WIth much political and financial upheaval in the country, Greek cinema has finally received a much needed shot in the arm.
This happened during the weekend-long second edition of Riding the Greek Wave, the annual conference organised by the Hellenic Film Academy in the presence of a selected group of foreign film executives.
For the first time since the early June shut down of the public radio and television network (Ert) by the government, a move that blocked all financial backing made more or less regularly available by the network to local productions, the government confirmed in public that the backing to local productions would resume shortly in the wake of the appointment in the very next days of a CEO to head the TV and Radio public network actually in the restructuring process.

- With across the board poor ratings from the critics (dozen or so polled in Le Film Francais) who saw the film at Cannes, if there is a reason why IFC Films have gone and picked up Marina de Van's out of competition psychodrama, it is because of the silver screen vixen pairing of Sophie Marceau and Monica Bellucci in doppelganger mode. I'm guessing that Ne te retourne pas (Don't Look Back) will probably go the VOD route. Written by Marina de Van and Jacques Akchoti, this delves into the weird and wonderful, in particular the theme of double identity. Jeanne (Marceau), a married mother of two, realises that her body is changing and nobody notices but her. Despite being surrounded by people who make what’s happening seem less important as she thinks, Jeanne is convinced that something important is going on. Bellucci is currently filming Jon Turteltaub
