On the occasion of the Italian premiere of Kontinental '25, where Jude mixes fiction, documentary images, and archival material, Biografilm is awarding this brilliant Romanian author the Celebration of Lives Award.
The festival world has already honored him with numerous awards, despite his young age, for an auteur of his caliber. There has also been praise from great masters, among whom Martin Scorsese stands out:
“Jude takes political content, cinema, morality, immorality, throws it all on the screen, then smashes it into a thousand pieces, and suddenly you see the world differently.”
Radu Jude's cinema, with its provocative style and critical investigation of history, particularly that of Romania, has often explored complex and uncomfortable themes, questioning collective memory and official narratives.
