Cannes comes to Bucharest for the fifth year in a row

Les Films de Cannes a Bucarest will reach its fifth edition in 2014 and is set to take place between October 24 and 30 and Romanians will have a chance to see some of the movies that were screened at this year’s Cannes, both in and out of competition.

The 67th annual Cannes Film Festival was held from 14 to 25 May 2014. The Palme d’Or was awarded to the Turkish film Winter Sleep directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan.  The festival opened with the long delayed Grace of Monaco, directed by Olivier Dahan and starring Nicole Kidman as Grace Kelly, which played out of competition.

Les Films de Cannes a Bucarest was initiated in 2010 by Christian Mungiu, with the help of special Cannes delegate, Thierry Fremaux. The 2013 edition brought over 60 Cannes movies to Bucharest, out of which 13 were awarded prizes at that year’s Cannes festival.
