Les huit films en lice pour le Trophée Astra

Cet article est disponible en anglais.

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.
