Bucharest, Romania's capital, is a destination that divides opinion among its visitors. Once known as 'The Little Paris' for its profusion of typically French style palaces and buildings, Ceausescu's communist regime destroyed much of the historic centre to stamp its domination on the city, and the palaces now sit cheek by jowl next to grey communist blocks. This is a city on the cusp of a new beginning, shrugging off the shackles of its communist past and developing a new identity of its own.

Part of that confidence is evident in the ambitions of the Bucharest International Film Festival which began in 2005. The aim of the festival is to encourage and celebrate new directions in cinema. To that end, the organisers have made enormous effort to attract some of the best young film makers around the world to showcase their skills as well as encouraging and inspiring local home grown talent. Due to the nature of its selection process, the bias is necessarily towards art house films rather than blockbusters, but there are always a number of films that have managed to bridge that gap between independent and mainstream. For example, in recent years, the festival has shown Exit through the Gift Shop - the film debut of Banksy, the legendary street artist, which was a nominee for a Best Documentary Oscar in 2010 and Four Lions, the first feature film by Chris Morris, which won the 2011 BAFTA for Best Debut Film. For anyone interested in contemporary film making, this festival is a fantastic destination.
