Six young Romanian and French students in Cluj-Napoca, selected by the French Institute in Romania, are watching six French (co)productions and decide on the TV5 Monde and French Institute Award, consisting of acquiring the distribution rights for the winning film for Romanian cinemas.
Due to the French Institute and French Embassy in Romania, Transilvania Talent Lab is benefiting this year from the expertise of French professionals Agathe Berman, Clémence Lavigne, Antonie Simkine and Arnaud Chevallier, who are holding training sessions as tutors.
French producer Agathe Berman and scriptwriter Arnaud Louvet are among the mentors of Full Moon Creative Lab, a project for filmmakers interested in genre series (thriller, horror, and fantasy) which has three residencies: December 2024, March 2025 and June 2025.
The winners of the 24th Transilvania International Film Festival will be announced in the evening of 21 June 2025.
