About Wallachia International Film Festival
Physical film festival in Bucharest with submission categories including Short movies and Featurette movies.
Festival is a highly professional, industry connected film festival, an exclusive independent grassroots film festival taking place in an exquisite location in Downtown Bucharest, only hundreds of meters away from Dracula’s former court in the grand Old Town! Also, our advertising work received accolades at Ad’Or, while working for companies like UNICEF and Nestlé-Purina.
But there’s nothing we love more than indulging ourselves with cinematic candies from all over the world, under the summer night sky of Wallachia. We will be arguing for a long time about which ones we feel are the best, and about the most promising unproduced screenplays.
Welcome to Wallachia, the Legendary Land of Principe Vlad III Dracula, universally known as Vlad the Impaler, Voivode of Wallachia. Born in 1431, Vlad was an authoritarian Principe, he revolutionized the affairs of Wallachia and refused to pay tribute to the sultan Mehmed II, resulting in a bloody war with the Ottomans.
Multiple works containing stories about Vlad's cruelty were published soon after his assassination in 1475. In 1897, Bram Stoker downgrades Prince Vlad to Count Dracula, a blood-sucking vampire inspired by Wallachian ancient folklore.
Loosely based on the book, Dracula (1931) casts immortal Bela Lugosi as the doomed romantic Count. Just think cinétopia!
Feel hundreds of years of mythic Wallachian history under the night sky! It’s a 100% natural multimedia affair!
We watch all movies and video, we read all screenplays and we select exclusively based on artistic merits. Networking does work on us.
But only if we're talking art.
