ViraFilms

Virafilms is a film production project initiated in Bucharest, Romania by three members of the Vira Association (Bogdan Pălici, Matei Budeş, Natalia Negru) with the aim of supporting independent, creative documentary films that have a very personal point of view, often focusing on cultural or social issues that are both locally and universally important.
