Dracula Park | Radu Jude

Other projects supported by ÖFI’s project committee included Radu Jude’s comedy Dracula Park which promises to deliver the director’s unique take on the legendary figure. Jude’s project also received backing from the ÖFI+ automatic scheme based on a film’s Austrian spend.

Romanian director Jude, who won the Berlinale Golden Bear for Bad Luck Banging Or Loony Porn in 2021, has previously teased a few details of his Dracula project, saying at Locarno Film Festival this year that it was time that a Romanian made a Dracula film. “It’s only Hollywood that has done it 1,000 times,” he said. “We shouldn’t let Hollywood dominate our Dracula.” +
