🤩Here are the next films in our line-up!

🎞️TWST: Things We Said Today (dir. Andrei Ujică)
A time capsule of New York City between August 13-15, 1965, framed by the Beatles’ arrival in the city and their first concert at Shea Stadium. A cinematic poem of that generation embedded in its own history.

🎞️The Dream (dir. Cătălin Saizescu)
In a Romanian prison, six inmates are cast in a theater rehabilitation program—until a seventh joins with a secret escape plan, only to discover the true power of applause.

🎞️Ink Wash (dir. Sarra Tsorakidis)
Seeking shelter in her work from the pain of a breakup, Lena, a painter turning 40, is commissioned to decorate a brutalist hotel nestled in the depths of a Romanian forest, where she is confronted with an overwhelmingly corrupted community.

🎞️The Spruce Forest (dir. Tudor Giurgiu)
This gripping hybrid documentary recreates the struggles faced by a Romanian community in Bassarabia while under Soviet occupation during World War II. A dramatic separation of a young couple becomes the least of their problems when the wife and two little girls are deported to Siberia, and the young husband escapes to Romania crushed by the guilt of losing the loved ones.

🎞️ High School Thieves (dir. Tudor Petremarin)
In order to fulfill their dreams, four teenagers decide to make money by selling the SAT prompts online. Everything is going well until they are all forced to face the reality around them and the consequences of their actions.
