Cinema of Romania

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The cinema of Romania is the art of motion-picture making within the nation of Romania or by Romanian filmmakers abroad. As upon much of the world's early cinema, the ravages of time have left their mark upon Romanian film prints. Tens of titles have been destroyed or lost for good. From these films, only memories, articles and photos published in the newspapers of the time have remained. Since 1965 Arhiva Na ional de Filme (A.N.F.) (The National Film Archive) has made serious efforts to reconstruct the obscure history of the beginnings of Romanian cinema, in parallel with the publication of memoirs and private research undertaken by great lovers of cinema, such as film critics Ion Cantacuzino and Tudor Caranfil, together with the directors Jean Mihail and Jean Georgescu. Romanian films have won Best Short film at Cannes in 2004 and 2008, with Trafic (film), and Megatron (film).
