There was a time when talking about TIFF meant an image. Then, starting around 1975, it meant the Toronto International Film Festival. Then Romania thought that copying this name is OK, and now I find that I have to differentiate between tiff.ro and tiff.net. Here we are simply listing the Romanian movies at TIFF.net (in Toronto).

Dupa cum ma laudam in articolul anterior, am vorbit cu organizatorii Festivalului si m-am lamurit ce si cum si dau B.L.T. gratis. Si mai este un eveniment romanesc important care merita sustinut si anume concertul unui pianist. O parte din acest articol e-n engleza.

I haven’t been able to find many movies with by Romanians or about Romanians at TIFF 19 (Toronto International Film Festival) I thought I mention them before the Festival is over.

Cum ziceam in 10 intamplari, Vineri am fost la vizionarea unei selectii de filme romanesti facute de studenti UNATC ca proiecte de graduare. Multe au fost premiate la diverse festivaluri, si dupa vizionare am avut un Q&A cu profesori de film de la York University.

I'm not sure how and why I ended up watching two movies in one evening, but I did. Maybe it was a need to procrastinate, maybe it was the "monster storm" that shut down New York and was raging outside.

Am invitat niste pretenari la o seara de film, si cum am trimis invitatia nitel cam tarziu, m-am gandit s-o pun si-aici pentre cei care - ca si mine - isi citesc Reader-ul si Twitter-ul mai des decat email-ul.

I just learned of two significant Romanian movie events in Toronto: Porumboiu's Whistlers is having its (wide?) release and TIFF a "survey" of 50 years of Romanian Cinema.

Saracan de mine, incepe festivalul si eu inca n-am reusit sa ma dumiresc la ce filme vreau sa merg. Bine ca s-a dumirit Romania ce film trimite la Oscarul 2011.

I was going through a movie marathon when I started this article. I thought I’d seen something in Ghenea’s performance, then I wasn’t so sure. And time passed.

Much to my surprise, a movie featuring Elisabeth Hurley and filmed entirely partly in Romania has no review that I can find.

Rezultatele sau castigatorii premiilor Oscar sunt bine cunoscuti. Ce ma intereseaza pe mine este rolul spam-ului in rezultate. Si-asta fiindca-i 8 Martie, ziua femeii.

I recently watched a with a rather long title (Cand se lasa seara in Bucuresti sau Metabolism) movie at TIFF13 and I thought I share my views with you. The article is unfinished, but I feel so sick, I might have a brain-wasting disease and I’d better publish it while I still can. 

Ce poate fi mai existential decat aceste doua subiecte? Tratarea lor in doua filme superbe, filme care mi-au marcat dezvoltarea psiho-sexuala.

Discussing the tragedy is inescapable. I had started doing this a few days ago, focusing mostly on Andrei Anghel, but didn’t have the time to say all that I wanted to say, which is why I’m continuing here.

I didn't use to listen to a lot of pop, but Adrian Enescu is a composer responsible for more than 80% of the Romanian pop music I used to listen to as a kid. I thought it might be a good idea to share it with whomever might hold an interest in it.

More than two years have passed since my last Poc-Rrrom (III) and today, inspired by a story I've just read, I've decided I'll go through with this one.

Nu m-am dus la festival decat la cateva filme. M-am gandit sa scriu despre ele acum, cat sunt inca fresh si chiar sa prezint cateva shorts (scurt-metraje) intr-o colectie.

This is an (Austro?-)German movie shortlisted for the Foreign Oscar and filmed in Bucharest. It’s great and rated 7.6 on IMDB, with a Metascore of 93. It is also remarkably warm and positive toward Romania.

One of the best known Romanian folk stories is that of "Human Stupidity", as told by a Romanian bard from Moldova, Ion Creanga – famous for his “Recollections from Childhood”. I haven't found an English translation online, so I decided to translate it myself with the help of Google.

Am aflat recent despre un test care ar deduce daca esti barbat sau femeie pe baza preferintelor tale. Asta-i genul de test care-i oripileaza pe unii (sau unele). Eu sunt insa curios sa identific diferentele. Totusi, nu vei gasi aici un test similar celui cu dreapta vs stanga.
