A spokesperson describes the film festival as follows:

"...Announcing the full lineup for the 9th Edition of ROMANIAN FILM FESTIVAL SEATTLE, "Homelands,” with in-person events at Seattle's Northwest Film Forum and streaming through NWFF's online platform. Homelands reflects on this year’s current events, while celebrating the power of film to map out new meanings into a world where people have been displaced by wars, economic crises, political instability, and natural disasters. The festival will continue to showcase the best of the newest film productions from Romania and Europe in a hybrid program, promoting outstanding directors, both established and up-and-coming. It will also continue its partnerships with Northwest Film Forum, Romanian Film Fest Arizona, and sister-organizations ARCS Arizona and ARCS Detroit. The Romanian Film Festival Arizona will have in-person screenings November 19-20 at Majestic Tempe 7 in Tempe, AZ..."

Festival highlights:

OPENING NIGHT: Metronom,” directed by Alexandru Belc. This stunning drama is set in Bucharest 1972, and follows 17-year-old Ana, who dreams of love and freedom. One night, while partying with her friends, they decide to send a letter to Metronom, the musical program which Radio Free Europe broadcasts clandestinely in Romania. It is then that the Securitate, Ceaușescu’s secret police, arrives. An in-person reception will light refreshments will precede the film, and a virtual Q&A with some of the film’s stars will follow the screening.

The US premiere of of "Immaculate," the impressive directorial debut of Monica Stan, which is also Romania’s pick for the Best International Feature Film Award at the 2023 Academy Awards. The film also offers a stellar performance by new-comer Ana Dumitraşcu. This film is about how a young girl's perceived innocence gains her the protection of the mostly male junkies inside a rehab facility, but she soon finds out that this special treatment comes at a great price.

Another notable directorial debut comes from Raluca Durbacă with "The Certainty of Probabilities." This documentary, made entirely from archival footage, is an exploration of the year 1968 in socialist Romania. There will also be a Q&A with Raluca following the film.
