The traditional Transilvania IFF hub ever since its first edition in 2002 and Cluj-Napoca's biggest cinema - Republica has undergone a complete refurbishment and will be a top host for TIFF's audience & guests this June!
With a brand new screen, new seats and fully equiped with 2D & 3D screening facilities and a complete change in style for the well-known lobby, the 750-seater has also been given the name of cult Romanian actor and Cluj-Napoca legend Florin Piersic, recipient of the Transilvania IFF Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009.
Over 1,000 residents of Cluj-Napoca attended the cinema's official opening , on January 26th, 2011, hosted by TIFF President Tudor Giurgiu.
The refurbishment was a joint effort of the Cluj-Napoca City Hall and Local Council and the RADEF Romaniafilm state-owned cinema exhibitor, the co-owners of the theater, and it was the effect of a long-term Transilvania IFF lobby and media campaign.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in a state-of-the art theater downtown Cluj-Napoca for the 10th Transilvania IFF!
