"An intense, female-driven debut feature (directed by a man)." - Hollywood Reporter View in your browser One of the most praised debuts of the last years, Nicolae-Constantin Tănase's disturbing, pessimistic 'The World is Mine', will screen within our Romanian Cinematheque. The intensity of the performances, the documentary-like realism and the relevance of the topic make it one of the most poignant films about growing up in the turbulent peripheries of Romanian big cities in recent times. Followed by Q&A via Skype. Free entry. Please book your seat here. In Romanian with English subtitles. Copyright © 2017 Romanian Cultural Institute in London, All rights reserved.

Enescu - the jazz way  View this email in your browser The Romanian Cultural Institute and The Enescu Society in Great Britain cordially invite you to RCI London, Thursday 4 May, 7pm Lucian Ban - piano Mat Maneri - viola "melancholy, beauty and wayward exuberance" (The Guardian)   "moments of unanticipated beauty" (All About Jazz) "mesmerising, evocative and sensually explicit" (L.A. Weekly)   Free. Seats allocated on a first come, first served basis. Please book your seat on Eventbrite The concert is the first jazz event in our popular `Enescu Series` but George Enescu is as present as ever thanks to Lucian Ban and Mat Maneri's skillful  reinterpretations of some of his great compositions such as "Impression d'enfance" Suite, Orchestral Suite no. 1 and Sonata no. 3 "in Romanian folk style". Another major source of inspiration for the brilliant duo is the ancient "doina", the Romanian traditional musical genre included in the UNESCO heritage.   Romanian Cultural Institute 1 Belgrave Square, London, SW1X8PH Copyright © 2017 Romanian Cultural Institute in London, All rights reserved.
