This year’s Transylvanian Film Festival includes a new industry focus on genre projects from Central and Eastern Europe. The Full Moon Creative Lab, initiated by the festival together with Romanian Film Promotion launches this year with a focus on thriller, horror and fantasy TV series projects.
The Lab builds on the festival’s Full Moon Script Contest, launched in 2020, which awards three creative residencies a year to winning writers in Transylvania. Full Moon Creative Lab project manager Ileana Cecanu said the response to the new TV program, first unveiled a year ago, has “exceeded all expectations.” Cecanu said she trusts we’ll soon seen the projects pitching at Full Moon this year on a TV or streaming platform in the near future. “I’d definitely be the first one binging them,” she says.
