Fascinated by the talent of the young Romanian film maker Mihai Grecu, we have again selected new work by him for the competition, for the third year in a row. Centipede Sun focuses on the landscape, the protagonist in his work. The landscape of the Altiplano region in Chile, synonymous with isolation, has enormous ‘empty’ panoramas in which the life forms we know seem to be absent. Against this background, Grecu brings to life his rich universe.
