Romanian Film Festival in Seattle

 

9th ROMANIAN FILM FESTIVAL IN SEATTLE
November 11 - 27, 2022
“HOMELANDS”

The University of Pittsburgh's Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies is proud to sponsor the 9th edition of the Romanian Film Festival in Seattle: “HOMELANDS”  (online: November 11-27, 2022) hosted by the American Romanian Cultural Society and the Northwest Film Forum.

As part of our partnership with this film festival, the University of Pittsburgh's Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies offers a limited number of free tickets on a first-come, first-serve basis, primarily but not exclusively to University of Pittsburgh faculty, students, and staff. 

The 9th edition of the festival reflects on this year’s current events in Eastern Europe, while celebrating the power of film to map out new meanings into a world where people have been displaced by wars, economic crises, political instability, and natural disasters. The internationally acclaimed movies featured from the region in the carefully curated selection, covering all forms and genres, will redefine our sense of homelands and belonging, in relation to our families, neighbors, countries of origin, and, by extension, to our planet itself. As Daniel Ursache’s poster illustrates, movies remain, year after year, our main path and answer, when everything else seems out of place.
