A few weeks ago, we have announced that in Brasov would be held at the end of august the film festival Dracula Dreamin. These days a new information appeared: at the beginning of august will be another film festival, in Brasov, called “Dracoola International Film Festival“

Are we talinkg about the same festival or there are just two diferent festivals? We have to wait and see which one will be held in august: the first or the second one which seems more pompous and in the trends ?

The Dracoola International Film Festival“ project is a result of the partnership between the “Asociation for the promoting the romanian film”, the “Amprenta Advertising”company, and the Brasov city council that offered it’s full support for this first edition of the film festival.

During the 4^th -10^th  of august 2008, the old center of Brasov, specially the Square area is going to be dedicated to the festival.
