Five Romanian films compete in various sections of the 2016 Cannes Film Festival from 11 to 22 May. 'Sierranevada,' a new feature of director Cristi Puiu and 'Baccalaureat' by Cristian Mungiu have been selected for the official competition. 'Dogs' by Bogdan Mirica runs in the 'Un Certain Regard' section. Two short films add to these, '4:15 pm. The end of the world', co-directed by Catalin Rotaru and Gabi Virginia Sarga, in the relevant competition, and 'All rivers flow into the sea' by Alexandru Badea in the Cinefondation section.
Producer Anamaria Antoci will participate in the 'Cannes Producers On The Move' workshop, the Romanian Cultural Institute informed on Tuesday.
The most recent feature of Cristian Mungiu, 'Baccalaureat' will have its premiere in Romania on 19 May, the same day of its screening in Cannes.
Mungiu is at his third participation in the Cannes official competition; his film '4 months, 3 weeks and 4 days' won a Palme d'Or in 2007, and 'Over the hills' got the best screenplay and best actress prizes in 2012.
