Climate collapse alert,
the central theme of the

Astra Film festival sibiu

Tickets and festival passes for the AFF Sibiu events now on sale on the astrafilm.ro website and the Eventbook platform.

What is awaiting us, as mere earthlings, after all the bad things we’ve done and continue to do? This is probably the most important question of the moment, which is why the central theme of the 28th edition of the Astra Film Sibiu festival is called the "Climate collapse alert". Other strong themes in the AFF Sibiu programme refer to couple relationships, birth and death, the boundaries between people, individualism, unexpected situations, and the extraordinary stories of some remarkable people. Astra Film Festival will take place in Sibiu between September 5th -12th, outdoors, in cinemas and online. Tickets are on sale on the festival’s website and on the Eventbook platform, and the full programme is available at: https://bit.ly/3kvT7G9.
