Representatives of the cultural and artistic community are expected to attend, alongside everyone wishing to rediscover the work of the filmmaker who brought Moldova’s name to cinema screens around the world.
The programme will also include the launch of an album-book dedicated to Emil Loteanu’s life and creative legacy, as well as the presentation of a commemorative coin.
“Loteanu Week in Moldova” will continue over the following days, with Realitatea TV broadcasting four of the director’s iconic films every evening at 9:00 p.m.: The Fiddlers, My Sweet and Tender Beast, The Gypsies Are Found Near Heaven, and Anna Pavlova.
