Romanian filmmaker Corneliu Porumboiu is preparing to shoot his next film, which is being produced by France's MK2 and Juliette Schrameck's Lumen.
Porumboiu didn’t confirm the title, but it has been previously referred to as “The Costume.” He described the project as “an adventure,” adding enigmatically that it will be “quite different to what I did before,” although the plot remains under wraps. His previous fiction features were all shot in Romania in Romanian, starting with “12:08 East of Bucharest,” winner of the Caméra d’Or at Cannes in 2006, followed by “Police, Adjective,” winner of the Un Certain Regard jury prize in Cannes in 2009, “When Evening Falls on Bucharest or Metabolism,” which premiered in competition at Locarno Film Festival in 2013, and “The Treasure,” which premiered in Un Certain Regard in Cannes in 2015, picking up the section’s A Certain Talent Prize. He has shot two feature documentaries, 2014’s “The Second Game,” and 2018’s “Infinite Football,” which both premiered at the Berlin Film Festival.
