Theatre and film are two important parts that intertwine in an actor`s life. How much do they influence one another and how can you jump from one to the other without compromising the authenticity of the performance?

On Monday, May 27, from 19:00, we`ll meet at the POINT independent cultural hub to talk to
Ela Ionescu and
