Cinemascop: Hundreds of people watch the movies screened by Czech Centre, admire AGERPRES photo exhibition

The Cinemascop Film Festival closed Sunday night, after five days of film screening and AGERPRES photo exhibition mounting admired by hundreds of people in the Eforie Sud Black Sea resort's summer garden.

The festival organized with support from the Bucharest Czech Centre and the EUNIC Romania, the Eforie City Hall and the RADEF - RomaniaFilm, took place at the Eforie Sud summer garden, reopened after 14 years. The AGERPRES National News Agency was the media partner of the event, wherein a part of its archive photographs was exhibited.

More than 400 persons were present each night at the screenings and admired the AGERPRES photos.

"This project is meant to link the core, the centre to the outskirts, and we believe that by doing this Eforie has entered this exchange through which everybody learns from everybody.
This is important and this is what the festival is about, because it is the crossroads of several worlds, and this time we were the link. The partnership with AGERPRES was important, because through the Agency we have made our voices heard, and the exhibition mounted here has been visited by each and every person who watched the films," the Czech Centre's managing director Frantisek Zachoval told AGERPRES.

Alongside Frantisek Zachoval, present were in the festival Emil Cristian Ghita, the one who initiated the project, and Sorina Neaga, PR manager of the event.

A particular presence was Marcela Cheru, the one who sold the theatre tickets at the Eforie cinema ever since 1964 until 2004, when the movie hall was shut down. She recalled that although the maximum capacity of the theatre was 1,512 seats, as many as 2,500 tickets were sold when certain films were screened.

Marian Dragomir, who has screened films at the Eforie Sud cinema from 1981 to 1994, said that there was the place where the movies had their seaside premieres that period.

The Cinemascop Film Festival this year has screened six films at the Black Sea coast's Eforie Sud summer garden cinema.AGERPRES(RO - author: Alexandra Stefan, editor: Mirela Barbulescu; EN - author, editor: Maria Voican)
