    BUCHAREST: The short film Alișveriș directed by the young Romanian director Vasile Todinca has been selected for Cannes’ Critics’ Week.

    Tatiana, an unemployed woman, spends her days selling her personal things in order to survive. Today she has an important deadline and she might end up selling a piece of her body in order to keep a roof over her head.

    Alișveriș is a Romanian coproduction, produced by microfilm and coproduced by Avanpost and HiFilm Productions.

    Another Romanian director in Critics’ Week this year is Xandra Popescu, whose film Erogenesis is a German production.

    The 64th Critics’ Week will be held 14 – 22 May 2025.
