When Dumitrana Lupu took over as the head of the Transilvania Film Festival’s industry program earlier this year, she was tasked with a two-fold mission of continuing to discover and boost emerging talents from the host country, as well as ensuring that the Romanian festival remains a vital meeting place for filmmakers from Southeastern Europe and the surrounding region.
To do so, she and the organizing team revamped some of TIFF’s industry sections while ensuring that long-running programs provide continuity for a festival that unspools its 21st edition from June 17 – 26.
With a focus on the Black Sea region and its neighboring countries, the Transilvania Pitch Stop has emerged as one of the leading co-production and co-financing platforms for the region’s filmmakers.

Konstantin Konovalov’s Odessa-set biopic about the Soviet film director Oleksandr Dovzhenko, Oleksandr Dovzhenko.Odessa-Debut, has already found co-producers in Finland and Argentina.
After first being pitched by Konovalov and his producer Volodymyr Filippov at last month’s Moscow Business Square co-production forum, the project, which is set in the Odessa of the mid-1920s when Dovzhenko was preparing to shoot his first feature The Diplomatic Pouch, was also presented in the programme of Odessa’s Film Industry Office on Thursday.
Born in today’s Ukraine, Dovzhenko - whose films include Earth and Arsenal - is on a par with such legendary early Soviet film-makers as Eisenstein and Pudovkin. The Dovzhenko Film Studios in Kiev were given his name after his death in 1956.
Speaking exclusively to Screen Daily, Konovalov confirmed that Rodrigo Vidal of Argentina’s Cinema 7 Films and Tony Valla of Finland’s Post Control are set to be partners in this project.
