RO DAYS | INDUSTRY Events

 

RO Days Industry Events (June 17–21, 2026), the industry platform of the Transilvania International Film Festival, creates a welcoming space for collaboration among film professionals through a series of initiatives dedicated to local and regional filmmakers. The platform supports networking, project development, and meaningful professional exchange.

For more than 11 years, RO Days has served as a key industry meeting point for discovering and connecting with emerging and established talent from Romania and across the international film community.

The main objectives of RO Days are:

  • To support Romanian and regional filmmakers by creating opportunities for development, exchange, and collaboration.
    To nurture emerging talent through masterclasses, guided conversations, and dedicated financial support.
    To showcase the latest Romanian productions in a closed screening environment for industry professionals.
    To encourage thoughtful, solution-oriented discussions around key topics shaping the film industry.
    To foster meaningful international connections and lasting professional relationships.
