The Romanian Filmmakers Association was founded in 1963, at the initiative of some legendary filmmakers such as
Victor Iliu,
Ion Popescu Gopo,
Mihnea Gheorghiu,
Liviu Ciulei,
Paul Călinescu and
Mircea Drăgan. In 1990, the association became the Romanian Filmmakers Union. Atarting with 1972, the Union started giving annual awards during the UCIN Gala, rewarding the film
performances of the previous year.
On May 27, 2019 the Studio Hall of the National Theatre will host the 47th edition of the UCIN Gala.
“The UCIN Awards…shall I say that it`s a feast of the Romanian film? Maybe it`s much or maybe it`s not enough. For sure, these awards have a tradition and a history of tens of years. These awards have been given or received by Iliu, Gopo, Mureşan, Drăgan, Bostan, Mihu, Marcus, Urşianu, Daneliuc, Piţa, Gulea, Veroiu, Tatos, Mărgineanu, Puiu, Mungiu, Netzer...generation after generation!
That is why the UCIN Awards Gala is not only a feast, but also a ritual we celebrate year after year!
A qualified jury will take into consideration and judge the films produced last year. There are many good films that received awards at different international festivals. The task that the jury has is both honorable and difficult. I thank them!
The UCIN Awards also means a show, because such an event must be looked from the stage, but also from the armchair in the audience, all dressed up! For all the preparations I would like to thank Izabela Rudolf and the Revolver team.
The event will be recorded by TVR. A big thank you from all the filmmakers.
The UCIN Awards Gala means more than winners who receive trophies. It means a lot more: it is the opportunity for the filmmakers fellowship to stick together and to respect one another!”,
Laurențiu Damian, the UCIN president said.
The host of the gala (which will be an exceptional one) this year is Cătălina Alexandra Grama, alias Jojo. If last year music was in the center of attention of the show, this year, the producers intend to surprise the audience with a new approach.
The jury that will chose the winners is made of:
Cristi Puiu (film director, president of the jury),
Manuel Cernat (film critic and historian), Aura Corbeanu (cultural expert), Dan Dediu (composer),
Iosif Demian (film director),
Dana Duma (film critic),
Radu Igazsag (animated film director),
Melania Oproiu (film editor),
Adrian Silișteanu (director, screenwriter, producer),
Tora Vasilescu (actress) and Varujan Vosganian (writer).
The 2019 UCIN Awards Gala is an event organized by the Romanian Filmmakers Union, in partnership with the Romanian Film Center, a project financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Identity and produced by Revolver.
