On October 19, at the Hamptons International Film Festival (HIFF), Boogie by Radu Muntean was awarded the Zicherman Family Foundation Award for Screenwriting. The film screenwriters are Alexandru Baciu, Razvan Radulescu and Radu Muntean.
David Nugent, Director of Programming says about the film: "Boogie was a revelation to me in Cannes, and I was honored to present its North American premiere in the Hamptons this year. Its dissection of relationships, amongst both friends and lovers, was crafted with such nuance and insight. I'm so thrilled that it won our screenwriting award this year. Insight and attention to emotional detail as seen in Boogie is rare in film these days."
The award was handed to leading actress Anamaria Marinca (photo), who participated, with the support of RCINY, to the film's U.S. premiere, as well as to the "Shooting Stars" program of HIFF.
