Independenta Romaniei (1912)
First Romanian Film Ever !!!
This film, "Razboiul Independentei" is the first Romanian film ever produced, inspired by the war, between Romania and The Otoman Empire. It is known in Universal History as the Russian-Romanian-Turk war and lasted one winter between 1877 and 1878. The DIrector was hired as the only man capable of such an performance after studying film art beyond borders. He made a terrific job, and it is today recognized as the "Father" of all Romanian directors. The Movie includes an very interesting scene, where the main Romanian attack against the Turkish army is led by the Romanian King (Carol I). It is interesting to know, that after studying many actors the director (Aristide) decided to use the real Romanian King (same Carol I, 30 years older) in order for the movie to be more realistic. Also a very important piece of document for the Romanian film history!
