FILM

Sibiu International Film Festival

Originally held in October, the Astra Film Festival, also known as Sibiu International Film Festival comes to Bucharest to present the documentaries that were staged last year. Astra Film Festival had its 20th anniversary edition in 2013, where for seven days, the city of Sibiu has become the international capital of documentary: screenings, concerts, exhibitions, conferences, masterclasses. The celebration of film has spread its lively spirit all throughout the city: hundreds of flags have been floating above the streets and the city’s youth have organised an unconventional promotion event: an anniversary tour on bikes and motorbikes.
