 The Ratiu Foundation and the Romanian Cultural Centre in London invite you to
the Cambridge Film Festival for a screening of
THE OTHER IRENE followed by a special Q&A session with director Andrei Gruzsniczki Saturday 26 September 2009, 15.45 Arts Picturehouse (Screen 2), 38-39 St Andrew’s Street, Cambridge CB2 3AR Tel. 0871 704 2050 • THE OTHER IRENE (Cealalta Irina) Part of the ‘Border Crossings’ programme Romania / 2008 / 90 mins / Romanian with English subtitles Director: Andrei Gruzsniczki. Starring: Andi Vasluianu, Doru Ana, Gabriel Spahiu. Sharing themes as it does with some of the finest European thrillers – such as the nerve-wrecking ‘The Vanishing’ (George Sluizer, 1988) – it's hard to believe ‘The Other Irene’ is, in fact, based on a true story. Reluctantly, security guard Aurel (Andi Vasluianu) lets his wife Irene go on a working trip to Cairo. Having had a breath of fresh air, she returns transformed and soon sets out again – but this time she does not come back. Now Aurel's true ordeal begins as he sets out on his own journey: a search for his wife amidst dubious bureaucrats, criminal embassies and hateful in-laws. ‘The Other Irene’ reveals a political and bureaucratic landscape that is truly eerie. The clean cinematography, especially apparent in the mall where Aurel works, beautifully emphasises the main character’s solitude and actor Andi Vasluianu performs the brooding desperation inside this antihero with incredible delicacy. We are delighted to welcome director Andrei Gruzsniczki for a Q&A session following the screening. His presence in the Cambridge Film Festival was made possible through a Ratiu Foundation Grant. The Cambridge Film Festival is open from 17 to 27 September 2009. For more details about the festival and to see its full programme, please visit www.cambridgefilmfestival.org.uk:-:
