THE ROMANIAN FILM FESTIVAL IN WASHINGTON, D.C. IS SET TO BEGIN
November 13–16, 2025
AMC Georgetown 14
The Embassy of Romania to the United States and the Romanian Cultural Institute in New York are delighted to present the 6th edition of the Romanian Film Festival in Washington, D.C., taking place November 13–16, 2025, at the exquisite AMC Georgetown 14 (3111 K St NW, Washington, DC 20007).
A highlight of Romanian–American cultural cooperation and one of the most consistent showcases of Romania’s cinematic creativity abroad, the festival, curated by film critic Mihai Fulger, brings to the U.S. capital an exceptional lineup of six acclaimed feature films and documentaries, each followed by introductions, post-screening discussions, and Q&A sessions.
The festival will also feature special guests, including actress Daniela Nane (Comatogen), director Tudor D. Popescu (Nasty), who will join audiences for conversations and Q&A sessions following selected screenings.
Now in its sixth edition, the Romanian Film Festival in Washington, D.C. stands as one of Romania’s most important cultural diplomacy projects, reaffirming the vitality and creative power of contemporary Romanian cinema. Over the past two decades, Romanian filmmakers have earned an exceptional reputation for their moral inquisitiveness, subtle storytelling, and haunting visual realism. Their films captivate through the truthful depiction of the quiet intensity of everyday lives, the courage to confront social and emotional complexity, and the rejection of simple answers to complicated ethical dilemmas. This is a cinema that looks deeply at human nature, inviting viewers everywhere to recognize themselves on screen.
