Play Giurgiu<\/em>, a festival for children and teenagers, will present a program of films, workshops, and other cultural activities in the southern Romania city of Giurgiu, which lacks a cinema hall.<\/p>\n

The event, taking place between June 27 and June 29, is organized by the animation festival Animest <\/em>at the city’s Tudor Vianu theater and on the esplanade in front of it. It will offer free outdoor screenings on a 12-meter screen, as well as indoor screenings of international and Romanian films (animation, fiction, and award-winning short films), along with poetry, animation, media education, and environmental exploration workshops.<\/p>\n

The program includes films such as The Little Prince<\/em> (France), Ernest and Celestine<\/em> (France-Luxembourg), Falcon Lake<\/em> (Canada-France), but also well-known titles, such as Karate Kid<\/em> or Cire\u0219arii<\/em>, the film adaptation of the novel by Constantin Chiri\u021b\u0103.<\/p>\n

The program also includes poetry workshops with Carmen Tiderle, who hails from Giurgiu, environmental activities organized by Mai Mult Verde, and a “cultural refuge” created by the bookstore chain C\u0103rture\u0219ti, featuring a selection of books chosen for the festival program.<\/p>\n

Play Giurgiu was founded by Mihai Mitric\u0103, a Giurgiu native and the founding director of Animest, along with former colleagues from the city and a team of young volunteers.<\/p>\n

“We experienced the last years of having a cinema in Giurgiu, but today’s children grow up without such venues. Play<\/em> is a gesture of giving back and responsibility – a festival made with the best intentions and minimal means, but with the hope that it can ignite something: curiosity, joy, the idea that film and culture deserve a wide reach,” the founder explained.<\/p>\n
