TRAIN OF LIFE<br />
Director: Radu Mihaileanu / Romania / 1998 / 103 min / French w/English sub-titles<br />
This comedy-drama is set in Central Europe during the summer of 1941. Yiddish-speaking<br />
Jews purchase a train, forge identity papers, and leave town. Posing as both prisoners and<br />
Nazis, they hope to reach Palestine via the Soviet Union, but problems arise when they<br />
encounter real Germans.<br />
It’s entertainment that never lets us off the hook. Village Voice<br />
every bit as reverent as “Schindler’s List” and no less successful. Film.com<br />
Produced by: Belfilms and Canal +, with the participation of<br />

ORIENTEERING<br />
Director: Dan Pita / Romania / 1982 / 96 min / Romanian w/English sub-titles<br />
A group of people from various walks of life enter an orienteering course in a wilderness, that not<br />
only test their strength and courage, but also their minds and spirit.<br />
funny, whimsical, and densely metaphoric, Orienteering is as equally potent as a wry allegory on<br />
the Ceauşescu regime under the thumb of Soviet-era communism as it is an acutely observed<br />
satire on the petty dynamics of office politics. filmref.com<br />

- Special Mention at Montpellier Mediterranean Film Festival (1998); Silver Lion Venice<br />
