    BUCHAREST: Director/producer Dinu Tănase (At the End of the Line, Studioul Cinematografic București) is in postproduction with Frozen Ignat (working title), a drama set to be released in spring 2017.

    The drama tells the tragic story of destinies trapped in an isolated village on the Danube Delta, a “cursed place, which does what it pleases with peoples’ lives”, as the old woman Stanca, played by Dana Dogaru (Sieranevada, Mandragora) says.

    The main characters are played by the newcomer Alexandra Fasolă, Dana Dogaru, Mircea Rusu and Dorel Vișan (The Snakes’ Senator, Alpha Films International).

    The film is produced by Marius Theodor Barna through Paradox film with a budget of 188,428 EUR / 850,000 RON, Dinu Tănase told FNE. The Romanian National Film Center is funding the film almost in its entirety with a supporting grant of 184,574 EUR / 814,000RON approved in 2014.

    The film was shot during a period of almost a month in February and March 2016 and it is due to wrap mixing in October-November 2016. No local distributor is attached to the project yet.
