This year's festival theme is Rhythms of Life. \nThe festival is organized with the support of 4Culture and the National Center for Cinematography in Moldova. \nWe are excited to welcome special guests\, Dorian Boguță\, main actor and producer of Another Lottery Ticket\,  Ruxandra Ghițescu\, screenwriter of Clara\, and Sergiu Cumatrenco Jr.\, producer of Carbon! \nIn the meantime\, please support our fundraising efforts.  The longevity of this festival is a testament that its success relies on your support.
