Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- On 15 September 2022, within the framework of the XIV Tashkent International Film Festival "Pearl of the Silk Road", the opening of the Days of Romanian Cinema will take place. The event will take place at 18:00 at the Magic Cinema in Tashkent.

The film "Next to Me" directed by Tedi Necula (release year 2018) will open the Romanian Film Days. The story of the film "Next to Me" takes place in the subway after the tragedy that happened in a nightclub in Bucharest. In the train stopped between stations, passengers are forced to spend almost the whole day together. Simple human stories unite previously completely alien people.

On 16 September 2022 at 18:00 at the Magic Cinema, the movie "Ducky" (released in 1967) will be shown. This film is a grandiose historical epic by the Romanian director Sergiu Nicolaescu about the war that the Roman Empire waged in 87-88 against the small state of freedom-loving Dacians.

The Romanian delegation took to the red carpet of the Tashkent International Film Festival yesterday. Romanian Ambassador to the Republic of Uzbekistan Daniel Cristian Ciobanu noted that this festival, revived on the initiative of the President of Uzbekistan, is a global event. The Ambassador expressed his gratitude to the Cinematography Agency of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Romanian Cultural Institute for their support in organizing the Days of Cinema in Romania.

Romania pays special attention to the development of relations with the Republic of Uzbekistan, including in the field of culture.
