Besides the eight titles in the international competition, which will vie for the Cinepolitica Trophy and Special Award, the festival will feature screenings of famous full-length movies, as well as short films with a political theme (fiction, documentary and animation), in the Panorama section. Most of the titles will be screened as Romanian premieres, and will be presented in Bucharest by their directors and producers.

The story of one of the most thrilling causes célèbres in the history of Italy will open the second edition of Cinepolitica International Film Festival, on April 2, at Cinema Studio in Bucharest.

Another highlight of the festival is the political thriller The Company You Keep (in picture), directed by Robert Redford, which was received with enthusiasm at the Venice Film Festival and in Toronto last year.
