In a tradition unchanged, my month of June has been the same for years. Like everyone here, I count the days to Transilvania International Film Festival (TIFF), and then travel to the Northern Italian town of Bologna for Il Cinema Ritrovato. I am not alone on my pilgrimage and no surprise at all, since the former is Romania’s biggest film event and the latter might just be the world’s most beautiful homage to cinema.
TIFF took place in Cluj-Napoca between 14 and 24 June and will go on tour. Its next stations are Constanța (20 August – 1 September) and Brașov (4 -6 October). TIFF Unlimited, the project’s streaming platform, also goes on tour with selected fest titles, you can check out the details here.
