Four historic estates in Romania will host European film screenings, live music, contemporary poetry, and cultural activities during four consecutive weekends next month. Organized by the Metropolis Cultural Association in partnership with the Pro Patrimonio Foundation, the first Film la Conac – Cur\u021bi Deschise will run from September 4 to 27.<\/p>\n
Each location will host a three-day program featuring outdoor screenings of recent European films, acoustic and contemporary concerts, poetry and sound performances, activities for children and young people, and guided tours where access conditions permit.<\/p>\n
The circuit will begin at Neam\u021bu Manor in Olari, Olt county, from September 4 to 6, before moving to Golescu Villa in C\u00e2mpulung Muscel, Arge\u0219 county, from September 11 to 13.<\/p>\n
Next, Petre P. Carp Manor in \u021aib\u0103ne\u0219ti, Ia\u0219i county, will host the program from September 18 to 20, while the final weekend will take place at Miclescu Manor in C\u0103line\u0219ti, Boto\u0219ani county, from September 25 to 27.<\/p>\n
A large screen will be installed in the courtyard of each estate for three evenings of open-air cinema. The selection focuses on recent European auteur productions with internationally recognized filmmaking, accessible stories, humor, emotion, and strong visual elements, according to the organizers.<\/p>\n
Films included in the first edition\u2019s selection are Ildik\u00f3 Enyedi\u2019s Silent Friend, Little Am\u00e9lie, Richard Linklater\u2019s Nouvelle Vague, and Paolo Sorrentino\u2019s La Grazia. The program aims to introduce contemporary European cinema to audiences who do not regularly attend film festivals or arthouse cinemas.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the music program will feature artists working at the intersection of tradition and contemporary styles, with performances adapted to the intimate setting of the historic courtyards, the organizers also said. Invited musicians include Simona Delegeanu and Sara Eslami, while further acts will be announced alongside the complete schedules for the four weekends.<\/p>\n
The literary component will present contemporary poetry through voice, rhythm, music, and sound rather than conventional readings. Participating writers include Moni St\u0103nil\u0103, Ligia Ke\u0219i\u0219ian, Marius Aldea, Sorin Despot, and Ioana T\u0103t\u0103ru\u0219anu.<\/p>\n
Children and teenagers will be able to join stop-motion animation and creative writing workshops, as well as heritage treasure hunts inspired by the architecture and history of each site. Pro Patrimonio will also organize guided tours presenting the history, transformations, and conservation work associated with the estates where access is possible.<\/p>\n
Moreover, Film la Conac will also include an information and fundraising campaign for the Perticari-Davila Manor in Izvoru, Arge\u0219 county. The estate became the property of the Pro Patrimonio Foundation in 2025, and its immediate needs include safety works and studies required before restoration can begin.<\/p>\n
Visitors attending the four weekends will be able to learn about the estate and contribute to its preservation through the foundation\u2019s official donation channel.<\/p>\n
