No one distills the frenzied, image-saturated contradictions of our world like Radu Jude. His films collide cinema, literature, politics, and theory with the colloquial mediums dominating our present—particularly TikTok videos, which featured prominently in 2024’s Do Not Expect Too Much From the End of the World and also make several cameos in his uproarious new epic, Dracula, which screens in the Currents section of NYFF63 (Jude’s Berlinale Silver Bear winner Kontinental ’25 screens in the Main Slate). In this unmissable event, Jude will join us virtually to present Little Poems in Prose, a compilation of Romanian TikTok videos created in collaboration with scholar Andrei Rus, followed by a discussion with the two on the cinematic and cultural dimensions of this popular, fast-traveling, and bite-size form, moderated by FC editor Devika Girish.
