Cluj 2006

Transsilvania! The home of vampires! We are however rather sure that our colleagues forming the FIPRESCI jury didn't see too many of them — not because vampires would exist in the realm of legends and myths only but because the jury members had to see a lot of films invited to this young festival. Their choice was a Georgian-French film, 13 — Tzameti by Gela Babluani.
