The most compelling Romanian films of the past year will be screened at the 24th edition of the Transilvania International Film Festival, in the much-anticipated Romanian Days section. This year's competition features eight feature-length films — including an impressive six documentaries — and 20 short films, competing for the Best Feature Film, Best Debut, and Best Short Film awards.
In addition to the competition, the program presents world premieres and acclaimed Romanian productions from the past year, screened out of competition.
The jury for the Romanian Days Feature Competition brings together acclaimed international film professionals: Fatima Djoumer, CEO of Europa Cinemas; Lenka Tyrpáková, Artistic Director of the Finále Plzeň Festival; and Tomasz Żygo, festival coordinator, programmer, and distributor.
The Romanian Days Short Film Competition will be evaluated by Arnaud Chevallier, founder of the sales agency B-Rated International; Réka Lemhényi, one of Hungary’s most renowned film editors; and producer Christoph Thoke.
