Dogs Câini

Bogdan Mirica / Romania / 2016 / 104 min / Romanian

The new rising star of Romanian Cinema, Bogdan Mirica’s feature debut is an original melange of American crime thriller and Romanian New Wave.

Roman comes to a remote village in rural Romania to sell the land he inherited from his departed grandfather. Once there, he is exposed to a series of strange events, all culminating with him discovering that his grandfather used to be a local crime lord and his men will not let go of the land - and their smuggling business - without a fight. Roman has to face his grandfather's deputies, led by Samir, an affable and charismatic Tartar. Meanwhile, Hogas, the local policeman, investigates the finding of a severed foot, but what he's really after is getting revenge at any cost on Samir, his lifetime nemesis.

"The film is about human nature. Granted – many films are. But there’s something special about the characters of Dogs – they’re aware that their nature is profoundly corrupted but they just can’t help it. Sometimes in life you’re aware that you’ve chosen the wrong path and yet you stay the course. That’s what happens to my characters. /.../ They don’t just fight each other. Actually, they mostly struggle with themselves" (Bogdan Mirica)

Bogdan Mirica

Additional Screening

Materialists Materialists

Celine Song

Monday, 25. 08. 2025 / 18:00 / Main Hall

Lucy works at a high-end matchmaking company trying to pair up moneyed entrepreneurs with elite bachelors and bachelorettes. When she meets Harry at the wedding of two of her successfully paired clients, she immediately knows that this ‘unicorn’ would be a perfect catch for a lot of her customers. But Harry is more interested in Lucy. And then her ex suddenly shows up… As we could expect from the director of Past Lives, Materialists is not exactly a romantic comedy about a matchmaker torn between two suitors, but rather a lucid examination of the contradictions of love and dating.
