Dear friends, supporters and lovers of Romanian cinema,
As we are preparing for the 18th edition of the Making Waves festival, to take place in a network of New York City cinemas in spring 2024, we invite you to join in supporting it (details on how to donate below). Details on the benefits will follow (but you can also take a quick look below at the benefits for the 17th edition).
Your support will cover travel and accommodation expenses for guests traveling to the U.S., screening fees, management and marketing expenses to make Romanian cinema visible in the U.S.
You cannot provide a financial contribution but still want to show your support? Help us with in-kind support. Become a volunteer. Be an ambassador of the festival and spread the word. Share on Facebook or Instagram. Contact us at info@filmetc.org to learn more about how you can help.
