Prince Radu, spouse of Crown Custodian Margareta, hosted on Wednesday the Elisabeta Palace Evening dedicated to the Bucharest International Film Festival (BIFF) 2024, emphasizing on the occasion that this cultural event was built with such far-reaching and solid vision that it will continue for generations. "Along the years, I have witnessed with great pride and amazement a phenomenon that started out of passion and perseverance, from the belief a few filmmakers had that Bucharest can become a cinematographic capital, fully deservant of its name as a European capital, in a field where putting up competition is so hard. Many years have passed since, more than I would have thought this annual event could live on, and the last ones, which were also the hardest, proved that it was built with such far-reaching and solid vision that it probably won't stop and will carry on," said Prince Radu, voicing hope that the festival will last for generations to come.
The Prince noted with satisfaction that BIFF has gained lots of admirers, supporters and friends, and can also count on a large number of volunteers who would rather remain anonymous. "This year again we promise you many national and even international premieres, valuable retrospectives, guests we will all enjoy having around, we want to feel you by our side, with the same warmth that you showed us every year and especially in the last years, which were probably the most difficult," said BIFF director Dana Dimitriu-Chelba.
