FĂRĂ SUFLET / THE ALIENATED | World Premiere
🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿
Proud and happy to announce the World premiere of our „hors-norme“ film FĂRĂ SUFLET / THE ALIENATED directed by me at 58th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (Proxima Competition), the largest Festival in Central and Eastern Europe and one of the A class festivals in the world .

a co-production by FORTIS FEM FILM (Germany), Pascaru Production (Moldova) & Midralgar (France)
supported by Beauftragte für Kultur und Medien, Film und Medienstiftung NRW & CNC Moldova
