Have you seen a Romanian film yet? The question that has been echoed for the past few years at Cannes, Berlin or other major festivals may very well have a refrain in Belfast.
The Romanian Cultural Institute, in partnership with QFT (Queens Film Theatre), is delighted to bring some of the most recent extraordinary Romanian cinema to Belfast. Don't miss a weekend full of great films, master class with Cannes and Berlin Film Festival award-winning director Cristi Puiu, plus the opening party featuring native born Transilvanian, now Brighton-based DJ Nico de Transilvania. Andras Hathazi, Morgen's leading actor, is also our guest of honour, together with film critic Iulia Blaga, who will introduce the films.
