Profusion Scholarship- Thursday, October 27, 2016

Romanian Film Festival 2016

Each year the ROMANIAN FILM FESTIVAL IN LONDON offers, through the good offices of its organiser PROFUSION INTERNATIONAL, an award to students drawn from the Romanian diaspora in the United Kingdom. The qualifications are simple. The recipient should, permanently or temporarily, be resident in Britain, and he or she should be a student of the visual arts, especially in the field of cinema. Our practice is to leave applications open as long as possible, so there is still time to apply for the film festival in November 2016. A brief CV and a brief statement backing up your claim to the scholarship is all that is required. All communications should be addressed to Ms R Mitrica, Director, PROFUSION – mail@profusion.org.uk

The 13th ROMANIAN FILM FESTIVAL: TOGETHER AND APART - Saturday, October 8, 2016

10 - 14 November 2016, Curzon Soho Cinema (99 Shaftesbury Avenue, London W1D 5DY)

TOGETHER AND APART is a phrase which may describe the relationship between two partners as they twist and twirl through the intimate movements of a dance. The phrase may also speak to the condition of the Romanian diaspora, divided by distance, united by history and family ties. Most powerfully, though, the phrase hints at the relationship between nationalities, you and me, separated by time and space, but bound together by our fears and hopes for the future.
