“Film+ is rapidly growing in front of our eyes, judging by the increased number of submissions. We are emphasizing the role Romanian filmmakers have in the region and Europe in general, while for this edition we are fully powered by local professionals sharing their experience with tailored contribution for each projects part of our line-up”, Alex Traila, co-founder Film+.
The residency has four sections: Work in Progress Lab, Production Lab, Development Lab and Film + Expanded.
