“Film O’Clock International Festival” Debuts in 5 Countries, including Romania, in February

Film O’Clock International Festival aims to expand the love for cinema and for humankind beyond any borders, and  welcomes everyone to its first edition, that will take place between the 27th of February and the 3rd of March 2021. The film selection and the agenda of the festival will soon be announced on the official website: http://foc-iff.com/, and on the Film O’Clock International Festival Facebook page.

The organizers propose an event that aims to be more than a film festival – a real cultural movement that uses the meridian and the time zones as its means to transform the Earth into a cinematic citadel. Lithuania, Romania, Greece, Egypt, and South Africa are the countries on the meridian of 25 degrees east longitude that are participating in the first edition of the festival in 2021. From the Baltic Sea to the southernmost point of Africa, Film O’Clock brings the northern and the southern hemispheres together.

By simultaneously watching the movies, both in cinemas located thousands of kilometers apart, but also on Video on Demand  platforms, as well as through discussions with special guests following each screening, which will be broadcast simultaneously in all festival venues in participating countries and online on the festival platform – the audience, although situated in different cities, countries or even continents, will spend valuable time together and share stories and emotions, across physical and cultural borders.

This event is initiated by Mirona Radu, a professional in the film industry, with almost 10 years of experience in film production and distribution, as well as in international film festivals, and is organized by Creatrix Fama and Culture Reality.
