Nomad-Minorities Film Festival to set camp in four Romanian cities and Norway’s Olso

The first edition of Nomad-Minorities Film Festival will take place in four Romanian cities and Norway's capital Oslo, between May 19 and June 28, 2015. The event aims to gather movies that bring into public attention relevant issues for minority groups in Romania. The films will focus on the historical complexity of minorities, on their rituals and beliefs, as well as their struggle to keep their identities. Six movies will be screened outdoors in Targu-Mures, Constanta, Timisoara and Bucharest, as well as in Oslo, Norway. “It’s a partnership that we’ve made with the Intercultural Museum in Oslo that gives young people there the chance to see films about minorities in Romania,” said Daniel Mitulescu, president of Metropolis Cultural Association, the festival’s organiser. This festival is part of the Minorities Film Festival project, financed by a grant from Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, via the EEA Financial Mechanism 2009-2014.
