The 28th edition of the Astra Film Festival, Romania’s longest-running gathering dedicated exclusively to documentary cinema, will kick off on 5 September (running until the 12th) and will screen more than 50 films over eight days. Given the current health context, the organisers have opted to move the festival from its traditional mid-October slot to the beginning of September, as this edition will be hybrid, with outdoor and indoor screenings as well as online access to films.
This edition will have four competitions, the main one being New Voices in Documentary Cinema, which focuses on first, second and third films in the career of a director. There will also be a Central & Eastern Europe Competition, the Romanian Competition and the Docschool Competition, the latter consisting exclusively of short films. The main theme of this iteration is “Climate Collapse Alert”, with several films, including the opening one, Emmanuel Cappellin’s Once You Know [+lire aussi :
