The 2017 Gopo Awards

We visited the Libra Film office right in the middle of the preparations for the 2017 Gopo Awards Gala, when the team led by Tudor Giurgiu was making the final touches to the program of the event. Then we went down the red carpet in front of the “IL Caragiale” National Theatre, where many reporters and photographers were waiting for the stars to come. Oana Giurgiu was coordinating this filming set-like action. Having learned the experience of the preious editions (this was the 11th gala) and having prepared all the details in due time, everything happened like a well-oiled machine. For the second year in a row, Alex Bogdan was the host of the 2017 Gopo Awards Gala.
Sieranevada and Câini were the great winners – each of them received 6 awards. Gheorghe Visu was overwhelmed, Valentin Uritescu thanked wisely, Ion Dichiseanu was very exuberant, LetițiaȘtefănescu refused the award.
