Trivia

Motivation of the Jury CineMAiubit for ”Lucian Pintilie” Award for best romanian film:
”The jury is pleased to award the prize of the Best Romanian film to Andrei Olănescu’s beautiful The Deer Hunting, which impressed the jury with its epic minimalism and emotional modernism, Andrei has successfully crafted a carefully weighted juxtaposition of an unfolding tender drama in the most macho of arenas. A great directorial debut.”
 
Motivation for Prize of RomanianFilmakers Union President, Laurențiu Damian:
Vânătoarea de cerbi / The Deer Hunting impresses with its humanism and its sensitive observation of a relationship in which the abandoned son meets his father. The hunting is just a pretext for the son’s forgiveness. A hunt that will not take place, because a deer has a baby next to it! With this film, the director proves a surprising maturity.”

Motivation of the Jury for Best Cinematography of a Romanian Film:
”For a consistent care of the visual in long static shots, and for looking after the passing of time through lighting, managing well the ratio between light and darkness in relationship with the storyline.”
