Cea de-a sasea editie Medias Central European Film Festival (MeCEFF) „7+1”, unicul festival competitiv si tematic consacrat cinematografiilor tarilor central europene, va avea loc, anul acesta, in perioada 01 - 03 septembrie.
Medias Central European Film Festival „7+1” (MECEFF „7+1”) a debutat in 2011 si, pe parcursul celor cinci editii desfasurate deja, a devenit un festival de renume international, ce si-a castigat faima cuvenita in peisajul cinematografic si cultural european.
Ca urmare a valorii dovedite la nivel international, MeCEFF se numara printre cele mai bune festivaluri din Europa, fiind onorat cu marca EFFE 2015 – 2016.
Mesajul EFFE (Europe for Festivals, Festivals for Europe) — marca a Uniunii Europene — pentru MECEFF „7+1” este: “Prin dezvoltarea comunitatii si creativitatii in tarile europene, echipa festivalului face din Europa un loc mai bun!”.
