Some of the films that were screened at this year’s edition of TIFF can be watched online, until August 16, on the festival’s video streaming platform.

Furthermore, some of the films screened at TIFF will be shown in Sibiu, between August 27 and August 30, and in Oradea, between September 11 and September 13, at the local, outdoor editions of the festival.

In Bucharest, films that were part of the TIFF program and other awarded films are screened until September 27, as part of the Cinema under the Moonlight event. The screenings take place outdoors, from Friday to Sunday, in a venue close to the Florescu-Manu House on Calea Victoriei.
