*re-post...I should've posted here intially*

I figured some might be interested here, what with the new-found (and well-deserved) fame Romanian cinema has garnered worldwide.

The non-profit organization I'm part of is putting together the 1st of its kind, Toronto-Romanian film festival running for 3 days, Fri-Sunday, Feb.1-3.

We're opening the festival w/ the 2007 Cannes winner California Dreamin', and continuing w/ a lot of award-winning features/docs/shorts that have all won at Sundance, Locarno, and other European film festivals.
The opening screening of California Dreamin' will also have as a special guest Jamie Elman, one of the leading actors from the movie. He will introduce the film and participate in a Q&A with the audience.

The Sunday screening of the 1st Romanian film made (1912) will have our festival's guest New-York DJ Bogman (MySpace) provide the musical acompaniment.

He'll also be spinning his jazz-funk-dub-electro set at the festival's Opening Party, on Feb.1st, at 11pm at Studio 204 (204 Spadina Ave.)
