The story

Anonimul International Independent Film Festival in Sfantu Gheorghe

ANONIMUL International Independent Film Festival runs every August in Sfantu Gheorghe, an isolated Danube Delta village reachable only by air or water, screening independent feature and short films for around 5,000 guests who camp or stay in cabins at a purpose-built film village for the week.

Since 2004, ANONIMUL International Independent Film Festival has run every August in Sfantu Gheorghe, a Danube Delta village so isolated that reaching it requires a boat trip or a short flight, no road connects it to the rest of Romania.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

ANONIMUL's defining feature is its location: Sfantu Gheorghe sits where the Danube meets the Black Sea, accessible only by boat or plane, so attending the festival means committing to several days cut off from ordinary routines in a delta fishing village

02

The mystery stays covered

Films screen both in an indoor cinema and, after dark, on a giant open-air screen, and guests stay in a dedicated Satul Filmului (Film Village) built from guesthouses, tents and cabins rather than hotels

03

The city starts moving

Running continuously since 2004, it has built a reputation as one of Romania's most distinctive cultural events precisely because the isolation and natural setting are as central to the experience as the film competition itself
