This Was The Day!

Here we are at the start of The Romanian Film Festival in London, the ninth edition.

It is happening again, folks, and I have to say this Festival’s started with flying colours. I do believe Beyond the Hills is an extraordinary film, and I think the audience are of the same opinion.

The screening was followed by a lively Q&A with Cosmina Stratan and Cristina Flutur, led by Ramona Mitrica (Festival Director) and Mike Phillips (Festival Consultant).
