The evening will begin with a short introductory word from director Ovidiu Georgescu, will continue with the film screening and will end with a Q&A session with the artistic team present at the event, director Ovidiu Georgescu, cinematographer Dragoș Boldea, actress Dana Vulc and actor Eugen Cristea, a moment in which the audience can enter into direct dialogue with them, finding interesting information about the production.

About the film

In an isolated asylum, Paul (former actor, over 70 years old) and Johnny, his son returned from New York after two decades of absence, try to repair their father-son relationship. After a life of conflicts, this is almost impossible and, sometimes, comic. Johnny wants to take Paul to New York, on the occasion of his wedding. The old man, however, overturns the plans when he announces that he too is getting married. The appearance of Paul's future wife turns everything upside down, towards a dramatic ending.

A film on the border between cinema and theater — a confession about the parent–child relationship, about the eternal confrontation between mentalities and generations, about guilt, regret, and the failed effort to repair things.

Why it's worth seeing

"The Game of Light" is an intimate cultural experiment - a Kammerspielfilm that is seen in the presence of the creators and then discussed with them. A single room, three exceptional actors, a truth that can no longer be avoided. The film does not offer theories or solutions served on a platter, but leaves room for the questions that each spectator is tempted to ask themselves after consuming the story — in a drama with a lot of black humor, in which the hope of forgiveness is still present.
