LIVE SCREENINGS August 13-15 2027
“Actors must act, writers must write, filmmakers must make films… directors, producers, and audiences will come. That’s Entertainment.”
BRIFF – Bistrița Romania International Film Festival is now open for submissions for its 5th edition, taking place in August 2027 in Bistrița, Romania.
BRIFF continues its collaboration with ArtCastle Festival, a celebration of music, exhibitions, workshops and poetry held at the historic Teleki Castle, while remaining dedicated to bringing cinema into vibrant, unconventional and atmospheric spaces.
Over the past four editions, BRIFF has welcomed filmmakers from around the world and created opportunities for their films to be discovered and presented to audiences in unique locations.
Beyond the main festival screenings, BRIFF has also presented retrospective screenings of outstanding films from previous editions at venues including Gallery Garden, Soho Music Hall, the County Art Museum, and Ivory Restaurant & Lounge.
For 2027, our commitment remains the same: to discover distinctive voices, powerful stories and films that deserve to be seen — not only during the festival, but also through year-round screenings and special events.
All selected films will receive official BRIFF laurels.
Award-winning films and filmmakers will receive official Winner laurels and a Certificate of Achievement.
We welcome filmmakers, directors, producers and film teams from around the world to submit their work and become part of the 5th edition of BRIFF.
Submit your film and join us in Bistrița, Romania, August 13–15, 2027.
