#90. Bogdan Mustata’s Wolf
Gist: Featuring 2013 Shooting Star selected Ada Condeescu (Mustata co-wrote Loverboy which she also starred in) this is about a 16-year-old teen named Wolf, who lives with his mother in an apartment block in Bucharest. One day, Clara shows up in his neighborhood, deliciously interrupting his adolescent ennui. At the same time, Wolf’s deceased father makes a disturbing comeback.
Prediction: If our predictions turn out to be somewhat accurate, then the 2013 edition could contain a trio of items from Romania put unlike the Un Certain Regard trajectory that the Cannes selected Loverboy followed, I’m thinking that his drama might end up being bumped into the Director’s Fortnight section. The project was selected for the 2011 edition of the Cannes L’Atelier, and it’s currently well into the post-production phase so My is looking good.

Because, looking forward, 2013 promises to be such a fruitful cornucopia of cinema, we were excited to be able to easily list an additional 100 titles we are eagerly looking forward to catching in the new year. From these 200-101 titles, we’re happy to list several projects featuring the extremely busy Isabelle Huppert, include two English language projects, Ned Benson’s split film project The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby His/Hers and the Niels Arden Oplev film, Dead Man Down (and don’t forget her French projects, a starring turn in Serge Bozon’s followup, Tip Top as well as Guillaume Nicloux’s The Religious).
Additionally, the horror genre should be extremely noteworthy in the coming year, with new projects from Neil Marshall (The Descent), Alexandre Aja (High Tension), Fabrice Du Welz (Calvaire), Lucky McKee (May) and directing team Alexandre Bustillo & Julien Maury (Inside). We’ve got two Australian beauties playing...

Over the long weekend, plenty of folks got the news that they’ve had their feature, doc or short films accepted into the Sundance Film Festival. This Wednesday, the festival begins making their line-up official while keeping the short film announcements for the following week. The previous week we’ve made some prognostications as to what should be included in the 2013 edition. Here’s an easy to click recap of some of those predictions. We’ve added those who’ve been mentioned in Filmmaker Magazine’s 25 New Faces of Independent Film, the fortunate ones who’ve had their work run inside the Sundance Labs, those who are working from a Blacklist named screenplay, those who are basing their feature on a short film that was accepted into the festival in a previous edition and finally those who’ve had funding via Kickstarter. * denotes feature directorial debut while ++ denotes that person...

Better know as the Golden Bear winner for his short in 2008 (A Good Day for a Swim) and more recently, as the scribe for 2011′s Cannes selected Loverboy, it’s in 2013 that I think we’ll be adding a new name to Romanian imports worth keeping tabs on with Bogdan Mustata and his project is called Lupa aka Wolf. A project which has been helped along by the Torino Film Lab, Sundance Institute Global Filmmaking Award and Cannes International Film Festival’s L’Atelier, production began very late in 2011, so this one is officially in the can and stars newbie actor Mihai Vasilescu in the lead role, but also includes If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle/Loverboy starlet Ada Condeescu.
Gist: Wolf, a 16-year-old teenager (Mihai Vasilescu), lives with his mother in an apartment block in Bucharest. One day, Clara shows up in his neighborhood, deliciously interrupting his adolescent ennui.

Filmmaker Kasi Lemmons (Talk to Me, The Caveman’s Valentine, Eve’s Bayou) attended this year’s Sundance Director’s Lab as an advisor, and here is a blog report about her experience.
I’ve been back in Manhattan for a few days, but my head is still on the Mountain. I’m thinking about the fellows, who are shooting and editing their final scenes. The progress and maturity of vision that I witnessed while I was there was incredible. I saw the filmmakers grow and stretch and discover themselves in the process. The rigorous shooting schedule taught them how to organize their day so that they could get their shots, how to communicate with their crew and get deep and nuanced performances from their actors. There was very little time for indecision. The crews were fabulous, and the actors brought an incredible array of talent to the projects. The...

Bogdan Mustata is in preparation mode for Wolf and a major push forward might come from the Croisette this may - he was selected to attend L'Atelier program of Cinefondation - now in it's 6th edition from the folks at Cannes. Each year, L'Atelier selects about 15 feature length projects from around the world and invites their directors to the Festival de Cannes in order to put them in contact with film professionals. Mustață’s Lupu (Wolf) tells the story of a 16-year-old guy whose father died when he was a child. The film deals with the overwhelming responsibilities that the young-man Lupu has to bear: protecting his little brother, Darius and his mother which has a new lover. He’s also in love with a girl named Clara. Lupu is not a teenager who talks much. He’s an uncommunicatively person who tries ceaselessly to hide his emotions. One day,...

Almost all projects that were are included in the Director's Lab were a part of the Screenwriter's January Lab earlier this year, so among the newly mentioned projects in the screenwriting portion of the camp we find indie filmmaker starlets Ry Russo-Young (You Wont Miss Me) and Lena Dunham (Tiny Furniture - freshly picked up by IFC) are co-writing a project called Nobody Walks with Russo-Young directing the project. Here's the complete press release below -- look for Ioncinema.com to keep tabs on several of these projects.
