“A Case History” analyzes the relations between individuals and multinational companies in the mad dash of new Romanian capitalism, starting from the real story of preparing and shooting a problematic work safety video. Principal photography is slated to begin in summer or early fall.
The first part of “A Case History” is a road movie which follows Angela, an overworked, 35-year-old production assistant working for a Romanian production company, as she drives around Bucharest on assignment for a large multinational corporation. “This part will be also a kind of dialogue with a not so well-known film from 1981, ‘Angela Moves On,’ by Lucian Bratu, which also has a woman driver in its center,” said Jude.
Jude, who won the Berlinale Silver Bear in 2015 , is also presenting a new project during the Berlinale Co-Production Market. Currently in development, “Heia, Heia, Safari!” will consist of two separate narratives. In the first part, set in 1917, German ethnologist Leo Frobenius is put in charge of a camp for African colonial soldiers in Romania.
“Heia, Heia, Safari!” is produced by Julia I. Peters and Jutta Feit for jip Film & Verleih , Heleen Gerritsen, and Ada Solomon for microFILM .
