Transylvania International Film Festival

It always does me great pleasure to step out and away from the places I only dream of voyaging to one day to share with you my personal thoughts on places I have seen with my own two. This happens to be the case today with Cluj-Napoca, Romania. This year marks the 5th edition of the Transylvania International Film Festival to be held June 2-11, 2006 in the Eastern European university town filled with amazing, rich history, people, inexpensive food and culture. Though I have not experienced the festival itself in Cluj-Napoca, I can only tell you checking out local cinema is bound to be an experience beyond phenomenal. The website is slowly but surely updating info on the schedule for this year's event, but just so you'll have an idea of what's in store see what occurred last year.

If you're thinking along the likes of Bram Stoker, Anne Rice or those missed episodes of Buffy stick to the states and search for YouTube clips. Romania is so much more than the folklore.
