Radu Jude was born on March 28, 1977, in Bucharest, Romania. He pursued his passion for filmmaking at the Media University of Bucharest, graduating from the Film Directing Department in 2003. His early career included working as an assistant director on notable projects such as Costa-Gavras’s “Amen.” (2002) and Cristi Puiu’s “The Death of Mr. Lazarescu” (2005). These initial experiences provided a foundation for his directorial work, which soon gained international recognition. Jude also directed over 100 advertising commercials, demonstrating his versatility and skill in visual storytelling.
Jude’s directorial talent first became widely recognized through his short films. “Lampa cu caciula” (2006) achieved significant success, earning Grand Prizes at multiple international festivals including Sundance, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Hamburg. His short films “Dimineața” (2007) and “Alexandra” (2007) were selected for over 30 festivals, with Jude winning the Grand Prix at Oberhausen. His feature film debut, “The Happiest Girl in the World” (2009), premiered at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival and received the CICAE Prize at the Berlin International Film Festival, along with other awards for its screenplay.
Throughout his career, Radu Jude has consistently produced acclaimed works that explore social and historical themes. “Everybody in Our Family” (2012) was awarded the ‘Heart of Sarajevo’ Award and the Bayard d’Or in Namur. His historical drama “Aferim!” (2015) earned him the Silver Bear for Best Director at the 65th Berlin International Film Festival. In 2021, Jude won the prestigious Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival for “Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn,” further solidifying his status as a leading figure in contemporary cinema. His recent film, “Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World” (2023), received the Special Jury Prize in Locarno, and “Kontinental ’25” (2025) was awarded the Silver Bear for Best Screenplay at the Berlinale.
