„Online publication that charts the cultural scene in Romania (and elsewhere). We  bookmark cultural news, write about what is relevant, new, and yet to be discovered life, the goings on that enrich the local cultural landscape. We trigger dialogues between artistic and cultural areas that don’t usually overlap. We watch the new generation of makers from the widest possible range of fields, follow their projects and map their evolution. We seek to etch out the portrait of this new generation that makes our world go round.”

3. „Lucian Pintilie” Cinema Fund :

A program designed primarily for young filmmakers, but also for the great director's memory. Created to support the art cinema creator and to give him the means to develop and formalize his vision, whilst being a real resource for debuts, but also for reviving and perpetuating a substantial aesthetic and cinematic culture.
