Special for EAVE Graduates: RO Days
Special for EAVE members
Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the Transilvania International Film Festival continues to stand as Romania’s leading film event, bringing together over 1,000 industry professionals and more than 100,000 film lovers each year.
RO Days Industry Events (17–21 June 2026 | Cluj-Napoca) will once again offer a dynamic platform for networking, collaboration, and professional exchange through masterclasses, workshops, pitch sessions, drama series initiatives, talent development programs, and closed screenings of upcoming Romanian productions.
At the heart of the industry program is Transilvania Pitch Stop (TPS), the festival’s co-production platform dedicated to first and second-time filmmakers from the region. Ten projects in development will be selected and presented to international producers, distributors, sales agents, and film fund representatives through public pitching sessions, one-on-one meetings, and project discussions. Participants will also compete for awards consisting of cash prizes and production services.
A new addition to the festival is the Works in Progress platform, developed in partnership with HBO. The initiative gives filmmakers the opportunity to showcase films currently in post-production to international industry professionals, with the aim of boosting visibility and connecting projects with sales agents, distributors, and festival programmers. Selected projects will compete for the Transilvania HBO Award, worth €30,000.
The industry program also includes Drama Room, TIFF’s initiative dedicated to drama series development. Launched in 2021, the program supports Romanian screenwriters and writer-directors developing contemporary series and mini-series projects through workshops, mentoring, and industry guidance.
**** Thanks to EAVE and RO Days collaboration, we offer you a free industry accreditation, and for five EAVE producers, the Festival will also cover four nights of accommodation between 17th and 21st of June.
