The 4th edition of the ROFest.Trends Film Festival Chicago has onsite (in person) screenings at ROCO between June 17-19
The Romanian Film Festival aims to bring to Chicago the newest trends in the Romanian short and feature fiction, praised internationally for their intricate stories and robust characters. Our public will have the chance to watch some of the most acclaimed Romanian movies while interacting with their producers and actors. This film festival has two collateral goals - to feature stories that expose the many facets of Romania and to facilitate the dialogue between various cultures, and, more precisely, between the American and the Romanian ones.
