Remarks from Festival's Creators:

 

Film Director Bruno Pischiutta, Chairman of the Board of Global Film Studio, the funding source of the event, and festival's Artistic Consultant, had this to say: “Our company has a long term interest in Brasov becoming an international film production center. The festival will welcome filmmakers, film distributors, media and world personalities. It will give them the chance to discover this especially beautiful city of Brasov with all it has to offer in terms of shooting locations, talent and film professionals. We like that Brasov, in time, will become a strategic meeting place for film producers and distributors in Europe. We also believe that the event will help attract to the city many more tourists from abroad."

Film Producer Daria Trifu, President of Brasov Film Center and festival's Director, adds: "I would like to thank our team of talented and enthusiastic filmmakers who are practically and creatively helping set up this festival. In particular, I would like to thank Mayor George Scripcaru and Ms. Cecilia Doiciu, Brasov City Hall's Director of Exterior Relations, who have facilitated the partnership agreement with the city that made the Dramatic Theater available as the main festival location. In addition, the city is providing access to local marketing and media channels."
