Filmul de Piatra* is a festival created by the young for the young. 100% based on Volunteer Power, the festival’s main goal is to offer a platform for young short film directors from Romania and Moldova.

That said, the festival is known for its’ youthfulness and friendliness, unconventional locations, and very long nights of hard partying.

In 2023, the 15th edition of the festival will take place between 13th and 16th of July, in Piatra Neamt, a city in North-East Romania.

Several jury mentions are also offered for different types of achievements in all categories of films.

  • A wonderful and very laid-back experience, by far the friendliest festival I've ever been to! The team goes to great lengths to ensure everyone's comfort. It was an honour to have my film in such a great company, too. Looking forward to the next one!
