The story

FILIT Iasi in Iasi

FILIT, the International Festival of Literature and Translation in Iasi, founded in 2013, brings internationally recognized writers and translators to Romania's historic literary capital each year, including past guests such as Nobel laureate Gao Xingjian, organized in part through the National Museum of Romanian Literature.

Iasi carries a long-standing claim to being Romania's literary and intellectual capital, the city where major figures in Romanian literature studied, wrote, and gathered for generations, and FILIT, the International Festival of Literature and Translation, founded in 2013, was built specifically to renew that identity for a contemporary international audience.

The place changes

02

The mystery stays covered
