LOCARNO’S BEST DIRECTOR IN MISKOLC

Adrian Sitaru’s Din dragoste cu cele mai bune intentii (Best Intentions) won the best director’s award of Locarno International Film Festival. The Hungarian premiere of the Romanian-Hungarian co-production will be in September at CineFest competition. Sitaru’s previous work, Pescuit sportive (Hooked), started its journey in Miskolc, too, two years ago making a huge critic and festival hit. The leading actress, Maria Dinulescu was the guest of CineFest then - she is one of the greatest stars of the Romanian new wave, also to be familiar from California Dreamin’. Miskolc will welcome the filmmakers again: this time not only the director but also Emőke Vágási, the film’s Hungarian co-producer, Orsi Tóth, Orsolya Török-Illyés from the cast and Bogdan Dumitrache who has been awarded Best Actor in Locarno.
