Film Critics Association 2015 Award for Best Film Journalism




Tora Vasilescu


  • Actress
  • Born: 22.03.1951 in Tulcea (Tulcea)

She graduated from the Institute of Theatre and Film “I.L. Caragiale” as valedictorian in 1975, where she studied Performing Arts with Eugenia Popovici. The same year she received the ACIN prize for the part of Maria she had played in the film Cursa directed by Mircea Daneliuc. However, the road towards this double triumph was not an easy one because even though she had manifested her histrionic vocation ever since she was little (when she would publicly recite and sing), the doors of the institute didn’t open for her the first time she tried to get in, nor did they open the second time, for that matter.
