{mosimage}Principles of Life is a contemporary 24 hour drama about a father disconnected from his family, especially from his son. Or, as producer Ada Solomon told FNE, "It is a film about the craziness of the day-to-day life that is taking us away from what's really important: our family".
The screenplay is written by Răzvan Rădulescu (The Death of Mr. Lăzărescu) and Alexandru Baciu (Boogie).
The film is produced by Solomon and HiFilm Productions (www.hifilm.ro) and won a €285,000 grant from the National Centre for Cinema (www.cncinema.abt.ro ), €10,000 from the Balkan Film Fund (www.filmfestival.gr ) as the recipient of Balkan Film Fund Thessaloniki Award, and €5,500 from SEE Network (www.gfc.gr/see ). It also had €7,000 Montpellier Development Grant (www.cinemed.tm.fr ). The project participated at Cine Link Sarajevo (www.sff.ba ) and Connecting Cottbus (www.connecting-cottbus.de). The budget is €600,000.
Liviu Marghidan (California Dreamin': Endless) is the DOP.
The film was shot in Bucharest in the fall of 2010.
