Ivana the Terrible and Legacy Lead Gopo Awards 2021 Nods

By

    BUCHAREST: Ivana Mladenovic’s sophomore feature Ivana the Terrible and Dorian Boguță’s debut feature Legacy received the most nominations (12 each) at the 15th edition of the Gopo Awards, which will be announced during a gala held in a physical format on 28 June 2021.

    Radu Jude’s Uppercase Print received 10 nominations, Radu Ciorniciuc’s first long documentary Acasă, My Home received seven nominations, the same as Dan Chișu’s drama 5 Minutes Too Late.

    Alexander Nanau’s documentary collective, which was nominated for the Oscars 2021 in two categories, received five nods, including Best Film, but in a letter to the organisers Nanau refused without any explanation to have his film nominated in the Best Long Documentary category.

    For the first time in the history of the Gopo Awards, the nominations jury (composed of 11 film professionals including five film critics) decided to nominate short animated films in a separate category (previously short animated films were taken into consideration in the Best Short Film category.). Also, the jury decided to have a separate category for Best Short Documentary, as a big number of short films as well as valuable documentaries were submitted this year.

    The winners will be decided by approximately 650 active film professionals, whose votes will be counted by PwC România.

    Gopo Awards are organised by Romanian Film Promotion together with Asociația Film si Cultură Urbană (AFCU), with the support of the Romanian Film Centre and Babel Communications.
