Radu Jude : La fin du cinéma peut attendre

Radu Jude was born in Romania in 1977. Abundant and multifaceted, driven by an all-encompassing critical curiosity about the future of his country and the world, his work reveals a singular appetite for the unexplored possibilities of cinema.

Somewhere in this book, a QR code allows readers to view Sleep #2 (2024, 61 min.), Radu Jude's playful and moving tribute to his mentor Andy Warhol.

"It is very difficult for a film to be subversive today, in our societies, but I believe that cinema retains the ability to see and think in a different way. If that's all it does, that's already very good. And I agree with John Cage when he says that the goal of music and art is to reach a point where we no longer need art or music. If we started to really see and listen to the world, we wouldn't need them anymore." — Radu Jude

This book is part of the One, Two, Many collection initiated by FIDMarseille: "FIDMarseille combines the exploration of the most contemporary cinema with a focus on artists whose work is already part of a history in the making. This desire to weave together the past, present, and future of cinema requires critical work. This is the ambition of this collection: inspired by the spirit and energy of a festival, lively, collective books that welcome multiple forms and styles of writing—critical essays, documents, writings by the artists themselves, and above all, their words."
