Teodor Corban has a 25 year-long experience on the Romanian theatre stage working with acclaimed directors. Corneliu Porumboiu was the first film director to challenge him with a small part in his school short film A Trip to the City (2003) awarded in Cannes' Cinéfondation section. It was the beginning of a beautiful teamwork with Porumboiu, who later cast Corban in his Caméra d'Or winner debut feature 12:08 East of Bucharest (2006).
The leading part in Porumboiu's feature brought Corban his first film acting award - the Special Prize for an Outstanding Artistic Contribution at Cottbus Film Festival. Several other small parts followed in acclaimed films such as: California Dreamin' (endless) (directed by Cristian Nemescu, 2007), the Palm d'Or winner 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2007) and Beyond the Hills (2012) both directed by Cristian Mungiu, and the Golden Bear awarded Child's Pose (directed by Călin Peter Netzer, 2013).
