Alina Grigore s
debut feature, Blue Moon, last year scooped the Golden Shell award for best
film at the International Film Festival in San Sebastian (SSIFF), Spain, one of
the most prestigious events of its kind in Europe. Blue Moon was written and
directed by Alina Grigore and features Ioana Chițu, Mircea Postelnicu, Mircea
Silaghi and Vlad Ivanov in its cast. The script draws on Alina Grigore s
personal experience, who spent part of her childhood in a village in Neamț
County. Girls my age in particular were given no chance of developing. The physical
and psychological abuses we endured were commonplace in our village, Alina
Grigore recalls. Blue Moon tells the story of Irina, a young girl who wants
to leave her dysfunctional family and dreams of studying in the capital city,
yet fails, plagued by the violence surrounding her. The main prize in the San
Sebastian competition went to a low-budget film produced by a very passionate group
of filmmakers at the National
