Dear friends, supporters and lovers of Romanian cinema,
As the 17th edition of Making Waves, scheduled for March 2023, is in preparation, we invite you to join in supporting it (details on how to donate below). 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.
Details on the benefits will follow (but you can also take a quick look below at the benefits for the 16th edition).
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.
