Horia (2023)

Trivia

Ana Maria Comănescu about the movie:
“The film is concerned less with how to end social injustice or educational scarcity, and more with how to achieve a form of spiritual freedom in spite of those, which is basically the main theme. I applaud the many filmmakers turning our gaze to the enormous, bleak problems we face these days, but I also feel like there’s a burning need to feel hope and even joy, and it shouldn’t be neglected or considered trivial. My wish is for this film to genuinely uplift viewers and soothe their minds, even if only for a moment.”
Carla Fotea about the movie:
“I have been working with Ana-Maria for about seven years now, since film school. So it was natural for us to be working together on her debut. But besides this personal reason, I really believe Horia brings something fresh to the screen: it will be a feel-good film, full of life, color and laughter. It’s firstly a road film, so expect to see some action and a lot of adventure. And secondly, it’s a coming-of-age film, so it will be bittersweet and very relatable for our audience. We are also very excited to be working with a bunch of new talents, such as Vladmir Țeca (Horia) and Angelina Pavel (Stela), who will be on screen for the very first time.” (Film New Europe)
“Since it’s a road film we will be literally on the road all the time between the numerous locations, which entails a big production effort. But it will pay off in the breathtaking landscapes that we will show,”
