100 years ago, the Europe map changed significantly. Old empires were destroyed, unions were split and new countries appeared, became independent or fulfiled their national dreams. These include Czechoslovakia,
Romania and the Baltic countries – Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Therefore, we see a number of countries’ 100-years celebrations this year.
We are pleased to honour Romania – which in 1918 has achieved its national unity – with a comprehensive film program, in cooperation with the Embassy of Romania in Oslo and the Romanian Cultural Institutes in London and
Stockholm. Thanks to the British Film Institute and the Norwegian Culture Council, as well as the ambitious Norwegian film producers Arthaus and Tour de Force.
