The European Film Festival takes place in 8 cities of Romania

     From May 7, 2018 to June 3, 2018, the European Film Festival will take place in Bucharest, Galați, Râmnicu Vâlcea, Tîrgu Mureș, Timișoara, Alba Iulia, Iași și Sibiu. Bringing 64 films from 24 countries, the festival remains true to its mission started with the previous editions and that is the task of transforming the European film not only into a debates engine, but also into a developer of the main themes of the contemporary society – the ones that 

give the “pulse of Europe”. “In the year of the Great Union Centenary, the EFF intends to bring a subjective panning of over 100 years of European cinematography, in a moment of junction with the European Year of the Cultural Heritage. Offering a fresh perspective on the present and properly valuing the past, this year`s selection forecasts a similar future”, Liliana Țuroiu, the president of the Romanian Cultural Institute declared.

     Besides the established sections ( ARTE, Premiul LUX, Focus Moldova), 22.FFE has some new sections as well: FFE Clasic (filme restaurate), Front comun, Pulsul Europei and AGORA: Femei în societate.
The festival will start in Bucharest, on May 7, 2018, with a comedic post-war drama, See You Up There/ Au revoir là-haut (France, 2017, directed by Albert Dupontel); it is a film that in the year of the Centenary brings a story that happened 100 years ago on the big screen.
In Bucharest the screenings take place from May 7 to May 13, in the following venues: Elvire Popescu Cinema, Peasant Museum Cinema, Balassi Institute, Czech Centre, Cervantes Institute, National museum of Romanian Literature and European Public Space. Some of the screenings will be accompanied by meetings with filmmakers and actors, concerts, debates and other special events.
