Making Waves is a Festival of New Romanian Cinema initiated and co-presented by the Romanian Film Initiative in partnership wtih BAMcinématek in New York City and the Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville, NY. Established in 2006, the Romanian Film Festival in New York has been nourished by the belief that Romanian cinema, "one of the most startling developments in world cinema" (The New York T

imes), deserves to be shown on a sustainable basis to American audiences. The festival provides every year an encounter with what's best in contemporary Romanian filmmaking, and introduces American audiences to landmark films and filmmakers through a powerful and inventive programming. Under the leadership of cultural entrepreneur Corina Șuteu, with Mihai Chirilov as artistic director and Oana Radu as festival manager, the festival has grown, attracting with each edition a larger and dedicated following and built a strong recognition among U.S. Throughout the years, it has been co-presented in partnership with Tribeca Cinemas, the Film Society of Lincoln Center, Jacob Burns Film Center and BAMcinématek. The 12th edition of the festival will showcase selected Romanian productions at BAMcinématek in New York City, the festival new partner, and the Jacob Burns Film Center, the leading film center in Westchester County in the State of New York, from December 1-7, 2017.

"Nu există adevăr dacă nu există dragoste. (...) Când am făcut Marfa și banii îmi doream foarte mult să fiu onest față de mine însumi, pentru că în viața reală nu sunt.”

Invitat la Academia Română pe 31 martie 2026, regizorul Cristi Puiu, unul dintre pionierii noului val românesc, a susținut o conferință de aproximativ două ore, pe tema “De ce filmez?"

A povestit în fața academicienilor și a studenților UNATC prezenți la eveniment parcursul său profesional, a vorbit despre eșecuri și frica cu care se confruntă un regizor, dar și cm este lucrul cu actorii și cm încearcă să transpună în filme cele mai intime gânduri ale sale.

Redăm aici câteva dintre ideile prezentate în conferință:

- "Nu mi-am găsit niciodată locul. Am ajuns să fac liceul în 7 ani, am fost și repetent și exmatriculat.

- Nu am visat să mă fac regizor. Am dorit toată viața mea să fac pictură. S-a întâmplat un accident. Am picat la admiterea la Tonița la treapta I. Lucrul ăla m-a modificat destul de zdravăn.

- Actorii mă întreabă, cm să fiu, așa ca-n viață? Nu, tocmai. Nu. Pentru că în viață mințim. În viața reală purtăm măști, fără să vrem să mințim, fără să vrem să ascundem adevărul, dar nici nu ne grăbim să-l spunem."
