    CLUJ-NAPOCA: Nicolae Constantin Tănase's debut feature, The World Is Mine/Lumea e a mea, an independent production from Tudor Giurgiu through Libra Film, will have its world premiere in the national competition of Romanian Days at Transilvania IFF (29 May-7 June 2015).

    The film was expected to open in 2014, when Giurgiu told FNE that “it would be the biggest surprise of the year.” An independent production by Libra Film and Radu Stancu's deFilm, The World Is Mine follows 16-year-old Larisa who is in love with the most beautiful boy in high school and hopes to succeed in the unfriendly environment of a small town where money makes the rules.

    The script was written by Raluca Mănescu and films uses “non-professional actors for the main parts and a small team with zero experience in feature whatsoever,” Giurgiu told FNE. The actors were for the most part selected on Facebook. Ana Maria Guran, Ana Vatamanu, Oana Rusu and Iulia Ciochină play the main characters. Daniel Kosuth is DoP. The film was shot in 2013 with a budget of 150,000 EUR, sourced exclusively from private parties.

    BLU, the first short film Tănase made after studies at the National University of Theatre and Film I.L. Caragiale, won honors at the Transylvania IFF and Cortex IFF and received two nominations at the national Gopo awards. Tănase was also named best newcomer at Gopo. The World Is Mine/Lumea e a mea will be distributed in Romania by Transilvania Film starting 13 November 2015.
