Part of the feature-length film competition jury is also Andrei Tănăsescu, initiator of the Romanian Film Festival in Toronto, team member of the International Film Festival in Toronto and collaborator of the International Film Festival in Berlin and of the International Experimental Film Festival in Bucharest.
Prowl was conceived by Alexandra Bălteanu as an assignment during her directing study years, being based on true stories, and the script being written by Xandra Popescu. The film brings into focus not only the situation of certain prostitutes or the violence of the abuses committed by the authorities, who hunt and issue heavy fines against women practicing prostitution, but also the fact that they are strong women and do not complain, abuse being a risk assumed by them. The film was screened at the 2016 Edition of San Sebastian International Film Festival.
