FNE Europa Cinemas - Cinema of the Month: Romanian Director's New Cinema Theatre (NCRR)
Romania 18-05-2012FNE together with Europa Cinemas continues its Cinema of the Month series. In recognition of the hard work and excellence of European cinema operators we choose a cinema from each country covered by FNE each month. We look at the challenges and the successes faced by those cinemas with a special series of interviews that offer insights that other operators can benefit from and a platform for the exchange of ideas. This month we focus on Romania and Daniela Bacanu who is manager of the Romanian Director's New Cinema Theatre (NCRR) in Bucharest.
Throughout Cannes FNE will be highlighting the new projects being developed by scriptwriters working with ScripTeast. ScripTeast (www.scriptesat.pl) is supported by the MEDIA programme of the EU and the Polish Film Institute (www.pisf.pl) and is one of the most successful script development programmes in Europe with many of the scripts going on to be produced as successful films.
