The 12th edition of the Bucharest International Experimental Film Festival (BIEFF ) proposes, for the first time, an international competition dedicated to films made by directors who are on their first or second feature film in their career, informs a press release sent to AGERPRES on Tuesday.

Among the surprises reserved for the public between September 27 and October 2 are titles appreciated and awarded by the juries of major cinematographic events.
Both formally innovative and thematically challenging, the seven titles selected by Oana Ghera, artistic director of BIEFF, and Flavia Dima, associate curator, propose polemical approaches to some topics of contemporary interest, in ways that vary from to brave explorations of the surrounding realities up to fascinating exercises of imagination of surrealist inspiration, specify the organizers of the festival.
