Über das Festival:
ASTRA FILM FEST is a biennial festival, which is unique in this part of Europe . It offers the opportunity for documentarists from all over the world to meet, while promoting not only the production of good quality non-fiction, non-commercial film in Romania and in the region, but also for discussions related use of visual media in social scientific research and journalism.

The 8th AFF welcomes recently finished films made within the past two years, with unlimited theme and length, for the four competition sections (INTERNATIONAL, East EUROPEAN, ROMANIAN, STUDENT FILM) and/or the special programs. Films must have cinematographic qualities, artistic commitment and strong presence of the filmmaker's point of view both in form and content. We do not select in competition reconstructions, experimental films, mainstream commercial television documentaries.
