CEFF 2022 - The Romanian film "Miracle" presented by RCCAC
MIRACLE
Romania
2021, 1h 58m, Romania / Czech Republic / Latvia
Director: Bogdan George Apetri
Cast: Ioana Bugarin, Emanuel Pârvu
Genre: Crime/Drama/Thriller
Divided into two chapters, director Bogdan George Apetri’s MIRACLE begins with the young, beautiful Cristina Tofan (Ioana Bugarin) sneaking away from an isolated convent. Working in the style of the Romanian New Wave, Apetri withholds key information about her motives as we follow her enigmatic journey, allowing tension to steadily build to a wavering precipice. The film’s second part follows Marius Preda (Emanuel Pârvu), a determined inspector retracing Cristina’s steps days after her departure. Here, the narrative opens into both gripping police thriller and devastating social commentary, as Marius gradually uncovers clues and revelations leading not only to the unfathomable truth behind Cristina’s mysterious actions, but possibly, to an actual miracle as well.
All films at CEFF are presented in their original language with English subtitles.
Globe Cinema: Friday, November 11th at 6:00 pm (Cinema 1) Tickets

Co-produced by Romania-Luxembourg, directed by Alexander Nanau, the film is a story that shows the joint efforts of doctors, government officials, and investigative journalists who fight corruption.
It is an observational documentary that tells the story of the first year after the fire in the Bucharest club Colectiv, which led to the death of 65 people. It is a film about system versus people, about truth versus manipulation, about personal interest versus public interest.
"Collective" became the first Romanian film in history to be nominated for Oscars. The film was nominated for Best Documentary and Best International Film - a double historical performance.

Festivalul de Film European din Calgary, Editie Aniversara in 2016
Daniela Apostoaei | Articol publicat in Jurnalul de Dambovita
January 12, 2016
Si pentru editia de la sfârsitul anului trecut, organizatorul Festivalului de Film European din Calgary - Societatea Europeana Culturala a ajuns la perioada de bilant a manifestarilor ce însotesc fiecare editie a evenimentului.
Alaturi de celelalte 11 asociatii partenere, la editia de la finele anului 2015, Asociatia Culturala a Românilor Canadieni din Calgary (RCCAC) si-a adus o contributie semnificativa. Noi tari participante, detalii organizatorice bine întocmite, structurarea bugetului sunt doar cateva din elementele de care partea româna s-a ocupat îndeaproape pentru cea de-a patra editie a festivalului: „Fata de editiile precedente, ca element de noutate a fost faptul ca am reusit sa aducem alaturi de noi înca doua tari: Serbia si Ungaria.
La acest aspect s-a adaugat si un buget mai mare pe care l-am avut comparativ cu alte editii, ceea ce ne-a permis sa investim mai mult în realizarea publicitatii evenimentului: am avut postere, bannere, materiale informative, pliante, brosuri, publicitate realizata la posturile locale de radio si televiziune. Toate acestea împreuna au contribuit la o crestere semnificativa a audienţei de la 1.100 persoane în anul 2014 la 1.700 în 2015”, a mentionat Adrian Glavan, membru al bordului decizional din cadrul CEFF Calgary.
Si pentru ca, odata cu încheierea oricarei manifestari ramâne mereu „loc pentru mai bine”, pentru editia viitoare a Festivalului de Film European din Calgary organizatorii au deja pe agenda de lucru alte elemente de noutate:
„La editia aniversară din 2016, datorita succesului de anul trecut al festivalului, deja am primit confirmarea a înca doi parteneri care ni se vor alatura, Asociatia Italienilor si Asociatia Austriecilor. Din partea noastra, ca societate româneasca de cultura, am venit cu propunerea de a se institui un al doilea produs cultural pe lânga festivalul de film, cu care sa deschidem manifestarea: ne gândim poate la o expozitie de fotografie cu participanti din diverse etnii sau participarea unor cineasti, documentaristi, pictori, artisti. Dorim sa punem pe firmament artisti locali si sa îi promovam”, a concluzionat Maria Serban, presedintele Asociaţiei Culturale a Românilor Canadieni.
Nu ne ramane decat sa speram la un alt eveniment de succes pentru anul acesta si sa urmarim îndeaproape pregatirile care se vor desfasura pentru editia aniversara a Festivalului de Film European Calgary 2016.

Cinematografia romaneasca in lumina reflectoarelor la Festivalurile de film european din Canada

20 noiembrie 2015
În a doua jumătate a lunii noiembrie și începutul lunii decembrie, se desfășoară în Canada mai multe festivaluri de film european, în organizarea ambasadelor, a consulatelor sau centrelor culturale din statele membre UE, a asociațiilor comunităților etnice și a Delegației UE în colaborare cu parteneri locali, cum ar fi Canadian Film Institute. România este reprezentată prin filme recente în toate aceste festivaluri.
Publicul larg canadian va putea urmări ”Love building” (regia Iulia Rugină) la 1 decembrie, în cadrul Festivalului de film european de la Vancouver, care se desfășoară între 27 noiembrie – 9 decembrie, ”O poveste de dragoste – Lindenfeld” (regia Radu Gabrea) la 26 noiembrie, în cadrul Festivalului de film european de la Toronto, care se desfășoară între 14 – 24 noiembrie, ”Closer to the moon” (regia Nae Caranfil) la 30 noiembrie, în cadrul Festivalului de film european de la Ottawa, care se desfășoară între 20 noiembrie – 10 decembrie. La Festivalul de film european de la Calgary (12-15 noiembrie), organizat prin inițiativa și implicarea asociațiilor culturale ale comunităților etnice, printre care Asociația culturală româno-canadiană din Calgary este membru fondator al evenimentului, a fost prezentat, la 12 noiembrie, filmul ”Aferim!” (regia Radu Jude). Actorul și interpretul Ioan Gyuri Pascu a fost invitatul de onoare al Galei care a deschis Festivalul european de la Calgary.
Festivalurile de film european din Canada sunt evenimente culturale prestigioase, care au crescut în vizibilitate și prestanță de la an la an – Festivalul de film european de la Ottawa sărbătorește, în acest an, cea de-a 30-a ediție și a devenit deja un reper cultural al toamnei pentru publicul larg din regiune. Aceste Festivaluri sunt o fereastră deschisă către Europa și o ocazie pentru România de a prezenta un produs cultural bine primit de critica de specialitate și lucrări vizionate și premiate la unele dintre cele mai importante festivaluri internaționale.
