The festival also proposes a large panorama of international features, documentaries and shorts.

In addition to the official competition, the festival hosts Romanian Days, a three-day marathon of Romanian film which serves as a platform for buyers, sales agents and festival programmers.

TIFF, held in the city of Cluj, is one of the major events for the film industry of the region screening over 200 films and attracting over 55,000 annual admissions. The festival will open on 3 June 2011 with some fully renovated premises.

With the accreditation of Transilvania International Film Festival, FIAPF reinforces its cooperation in the Eastern and Central Europe. Since 2006, FIAPF has accredited Estonia's Black Night International Film Festival, Poland's Era New Horizons Film Festival, and the Sofia International Film Festival.

"The accreditation of the coming edition of the Transilvania International Film Festival gives us great satisfaction to have met the high FIAPF standards right before festival's tenth edition, making our festival one of the youngest to have ever received this recognition. We hope that our work will still be appreciated from now on, and we promise even greater editions in years to come," Tudor Giurgiu, President of the Transilvania International Film Festival, said in a statement.

"By accreditating the festival, FIAPF also wants to recognise the amazing work done by the Transilvania International Film Festival in setting up an important meeting point in a few years for all those interested in the Romanian films," FIAPF Director General Benoît Ginisty added.
