Romanian filmmaker, screenwriter, and actor Mircea Daneliuc entered his country's film industry with a role in Cursa/The Long Drive (1975). Before graduating from Bucharest's Institute of Theater and Film Art in 1972, Daneliuc had earned a degree in French philology at Bucharest University and spent a year as a teacher. Daneliuc served as an assistant director on two films by Mircea Dragan. In the late '70s, Daneliuc left the film industry to become a stage director; he would only sporadically return to films through the '80s and '90s.
