The Romanian Film Festival returns to Washington, DC

WASHINGTON - EntSun -- One of the largest events of its kind in North America, the festival's motto is "Reinventing Realism — New Cinema from Romania".

About the festival
Romanian cinematography is a veritable force within the European art film world and has produced many award-winning films over the years.

Known for its thought-provoking parables drawn from everyday events, Romanian filmmakers bring forth a discourse about contemporary societal and civil issues that hover over Europe, and which are now more relevant than ever. Some of the films (Ex: "Poppy Field", "Unidentified") take the viewer through a sobering deep-dive into the Easter European psyche, and might even offer insights that could help the audience better understand and relate to current dynamics that are dramatically unfolding in Europe today.
