The Death of Darcula at the Mediawave Festival
23/05/2024 04:58 PM

This special film is the result of a collaboration between the Media Department of Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania and the Association of The Hungarian Filmmakers from Transylvania, in which several current and former film students worked together.

We are delighted that the first work-in-progress version of the film was presented at the Mediawave Festival, as this unique professional film and music forum was the starting point of the collaboration between the film's creative producer Róbert Lakatos (member of our Department) and composer Miqué Montanaro.

Thank you to everyone who honoured us with their presence and to those who supported our work! We managed to present Dracula in a different way than usual and we hope you enjoy the harmony between film and music. The next work-in-progress screening of the film, accompanied by live music, will take place during the prestigious Transilvania International Film Festival on 19 June, at 18:00, at Cinema Arta in Cluj-Napoca.

The film will also be shown this summer at the Ördögkatlan festival in Hungary.

For TIFF, we are also planning a photography exhibition of cyanotypes and werk photos, curated by our photography teacher Mira Marincaș, in the lobby of the University Ceremonial Hall.
