ROMANIAN FILM TAKES CENTER STAGE IN D.C. FOR THE FIFTH EDITION
The flagship showcase of a growing series of Romanian Film Festivals mushrooming all over America is back in the Nation’s Capital with a carefully curated collection of films, comprising some of the most praised and awarded productions of the past year.
The 5th edition of the Romanian Film Festival in Washington, D.C. takes place November 7-10, 2024 at E Street Cinema, highlighting the creative vigor of Romanian cinema, its undiminished capacity to offer fresh, surprising perspectives on the human condition, and the universal relevance of its stories and characters.
Known as the largest Romanian film festival in the U.S., the fifth annual RFF 2024 features six new films, including Romania’s official submission to the Academy Awards THREE KILOMETERS TO THE END OF THE WORLD. RFF will take place at the Landmark E Street Cinema.
The festival opens with the award-winning film WHERE ELEPHANTS GO, directed by Cătălin Rotaru and Gabi Virginia Șarga, a genre-bending melodramedy and closes with THREE KILOMETERS TO THE END OF THE WORLD directed by Emanuel Pârvu.
The film which won the Queer Palm at the Cannes Film Festival, follows a teenage boy in a rural village who is brutally attacked one summer night. All films in the festival will include a post-screening discussion with the artists and moderated by an expert in Romanian film, the curator of the festival, Mihai Fulger.
Join us for four days of enriching cinematic experiences and come meet some of Romania’s most interesting film-makers, from emerging helmers to masters of the screen.
Romanian Film Festival in Washington, D.C. is co-organized by the Romanian Embassy to the U.S. and the Romanian Cultural Institute in New York with the generous support of sponsors from Romania: Lidl, Dedeman, BCR, Banca Transilvania, Revolution Residence, Global Vision, Raiffeisen Bank, EMag, Kaufland.
