Costică Acsinte enrolled as a war photographer during WWI and developed not only his own photos but also the plates taken by the Romanian, French and Russian aerial observers. After the war he continued documenting the life of ordinary people so that today, apart from the collection of war photos, there are countless photos held by the families of those who have been photographed.
The film will also use documents from the National Film Archives and the archives of Romanian Radio Broadcasting Company.
The documentary is produced by Ada Solomon through HiFilm Productions with the help of Cezar Mario Popescu, who discovered Acsinte's photos. DoP Marius Panduru is the technical advisor. The budget has not been announced.
The film is expected to be finished in autumn 2016. Jude, who won the Silver Bear at 2015 Berlin Film Festival for Aferim! ( Hi Film, Klas Film, endorfilm, Mulberry Development), is also in postproduction with the feature film Scarred Hearts / Inimi cicatrizate, a Romanian/German coproduction between HiFilm Productions and Komplizen Film.
