In cooperation with the Filmmakers Association of Croatia we present the masterclass with Katia Pascariu, the lead actress in Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn, directed by Radu Jude, which won the Golden Bear for Best Film at Berlinale 2021. The talk will focus on the acting aspect of working with a master of the Romanian New Wave whose works explore the boundaries between directing methods of documentary and fiction film. By skilfully adapting to the filming conditions during the global pandemic, the project was able to present the historic moment with added authenticity. Pascariu will discuss how her acting adapted to these changes in a conversation hosted by producer Tamara Babun.
