Where Do We Screen?

Screenings

Our screenings gather a large number of film lovers every year. Looking back we are proud to have organized monthly screenings in Bucharest with thousands of spectators, in unconventional spaces from independent theatres to rooftop cinema, bookstores, universities, art hubs etc.

The new reality forced the majority of the industry to recalibrate. Beginning with 2020 we only screen competition-awarded films as the COVID pandemic made physical event planning a lot more challenging. This means that, at least for a while, the number of annual physical events will be limited to 1 or 2, in order to make sure that we can showcase all winning films safely & responsibly.

The 'new normal'

At this moment, the films showcased in the BscFest Official Screenings will only consist of the Competition Winners.

That doesn’t make Bucharest Shortcut any less attractive, as there are many benefits of joining our community.

We like to see ourselves as a network where you can definitely find support for your film and make your submission worth it.

What's next?

Starting with 2021 we offer all the films qualified for Official Competition the opportunity of having online screenings.

After the COVID-19 breakout, many festivals have transitioned to a hybrid system for film screenings and we embrace the change as this is an important step towards the future.

It is important to mention that this IS NOT A MANDATORY REQUIREMENT for joining the festival and online screenings will only be provided WITH THE PRIOR PERMISSION granted by the filmmaker.

Our Online Catalogue will be offered in partnership with Shortlist.film, a highly secured streaming platform, where you can introduce your content to a worldwide audience.
