The first edition of Les Films de Cannes à Botoșani, an event that took place between October 20 and 22, brought us wonderful experiences, very interesting stories and many smiles.
We look forward to the second edition!

Special guests of the event were the film critic Irina-Margareta Nistor and Botoşani’s actor Vlad Ivanov. During the event, ran the movies Câinii, directed by Bogdan Mirica and Cristian Mungiu’s Amintiri din Epoca de Aur 2 : Dragoste în timpul liber.
“We all have a tremendous need for culture, and that obliges us to support such actions. Such a project gives me hope in the future. A good film tells you a story, makes you ask questions, makes you more free and balanced. I congratulate you on putting Botosani on the map of this wonderful event, “said Valeriu Iftime – Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Elsaco Group of Companies.
