Kissed by Winter is a story about one of the efficient and successful people, Victoria, who one day is suddenly thrown out of her regular life for a period of time. The film tells the story of two deaths, one is suspicious, the other one unacceptable. Victoria starts a new life as a physician in a wintery Norwegian village. Here she absorbs herself in her job, in order to avoid her memories. Early one winter morning, a young man is found dead in the snow, and the local sheriff presumes he may have been hit by the plow of a snow truck. As Victoria gets entangled in the fate of the dead boy, she gets close to both his parents and the suspect, Kai. In the encounter with the dead man and the village inhabitants, the main character proves to be a greater mystery than the case under investigation. The truth about the boy in the snow, and Victoria’s own past, is slowly but steadily whirled up to the surface.Read More »

George (Alessandro Nivola) seems easy enough to read. At a Chicago art gallery opening, surrounded by people dressed in sleek black, he spots the owner, Madeleine (Embeth Davidtz). He meets her in front of a simple-seeming painting of deer in snow, exchange shy smiles. “It makes me happy,” he says of the artwork. And with that, the film’s credits begin, as George and Madeline kiss, playfully and earnestly. She laughs. He makes her happy.Read More »

Andrei, a 13-year-old teenager living at the outskirts of Bucharest, decides one day to steal a bus in order to impress Marilena, a prostitute he fell in love with. Things you do for love… “Marilena from P7 plunges into the universe of teenage emotions that we all remember. It is a study on the – sometimes small, sometimes big – reasons that make us turn from children into teenagers. The story takes place in the “exotic” outskirts of Bucharest, and the background is peopled with many authentically racy characters. Besides telling the story, the film also makes a cross-section of the life in the suburbs of Bucharest at the beginning of the 21st century, with no intervention whatsoever on most of the locations and extras. The hand held camera shooting style offers the opportunity to capture details and genuine background elements that enforce the “documentary” atmosphere of the movie”.Read More »
