Moon Hotel Kabul is a 2018 Romanian-French drama film directed by Anca Damian and written by Damian and Lia Bugnar. It tells the story of Ivan (played by Florin Piersic Jr.), a charismatic but cynical journalist who starts to reconsider his life after Ioana (played by Ofelia Popii), a translator with whom he has had a one-night stand in a hotel in Kabul, commits suicide one day later. The film was shot in 2016, in Bucharest and Morocco, "as it was too risky to shoot in Kabul at that time".[1][3]

The film premiered on October 18, 2018 at the Warsaw Film Festival where Damian received the Best Director award.[4] It was theatrically released in Romanian on November 30, 2018.[5] At the 2019 Gopo Awards, Alexandru Nagy was nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, and Popii and Rodica Negrea were nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.[6]
