Andrei Ujică

He studied literature in Timisoara, Bucharest, and Heidelberg. He started publishing poetry, prose, and essays in 1968. In 1990, he decided to make films. Together with Harun Farocki, Ujica co-directed Videograms of a Revolution (1992), which was quickly acknowledged as a landmark film. Programmed in this edition's Restored section, his second work, Out of the Present (1995), has been compared to such emblematic titles in film history as Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey and Andrei Tarkovsky’s Solaris. The Autobiograpy of Nicolae Ceausescu (2010) concludes his trilogy examining the end of communism.
