Ceau, Cinema! Festival Celebrated Ten Years

Ceau, Cinema! Festival celebrated ten years together with the audience and its guests. A CineConcert, no less than 30 films, meetings with more than 20 Romanian and foreign filmmakers, debates, workshops, an anniversary exhibition and a book release were included in the program of the anniversary edition, which took place between July 12th-16th in Timişoara.

Over 3.500 viewers attended the screening and the events of the tenth edition, and each of the four debate panels on film festivals, arthouse cinemas and cinema education programs was watched online by hundreds of persons.

The Ceau, Cinema! Trophy ”Răzvan Georgescu” for the best film in competition went to the Polish production ”Bread and Salt” (2022), by Damian Kocur, which also won the Audience Award. The jury, made of the actress Ioana Iacob and the directors Paul Negoescu and Vlad Petri, ”appreciated the directorial approach, the outstanding ability of storytelling and the subtlety that the director handled, without being subjective, important themes of the present time”. The jury decided to grant a special prize to actress Glory Kevin from the Italian film ”Princess” (2022, directed by Roberto de Paolis), for ”the candor, the versatility and vehemence that she addressed the role with”.

The Ceau, Cinema! Trophy ”Răzvan Georgescu” amounts € 1.000, and the Audience Award is € 500, both of them being granted by Groupama Insurance.

The Project "See you at the Cinema" started with the first activity: The Education through Film Workshop

Throughout four afternoons, between April 24th-27th, teachers and informal educators from different educational institutions and organizations from Timişoara attended a workshop of education through film, organized as a first by Pelicula Culturală and Ceau, Cinema!

We thank them for their interest and involvement!

The participants had the opportunity to find more information especially on how to use the films in their teaching process at class, as well as on how important cinema can be in understanding contemporary society challenges.

The workshop was held by Håkon Tveit and Donia Lina Nilsen, experts within the education through film program that has been carried out for the last 20 years by Bergen International Film Festival (BIFF).

Organized at Centrul de Proiecte (the City Project Center)), the workshop launched a collaboration that Ceau, Cinema! undergoes in 2023 with BIFF, the biggest film festival in Norway and one of the most important in Northern Europe.

The communication partner of the workshop was the Association Initiativa in Educatie, whom we wish to thank.
The activities are part of the project “See you at the cinema?! – The role of art movie theaters and of film festivals in the streaming platform era”, funded by SEE and Norway Grants.

The project will continue during the 10th edition of Ceau, Cinema!, which will take place on July 12th – 16th.
