DESCRIPTION:Los Angeles, October 7th, 2024- The long and exceptionally successful 
 streak of Romanian New Waves continues with the latest arrival in the U.S. 
 of LIBERTATE (Freedom) by renowned filmmaker, Tudor Giurgiu. Following its 
 European festival circuit run, the film premiered in May at the 19th annual 
 South East European Film Festival #SEEfest in Los Angeles. SEEfest has long 
 been a home to discovery of new talent and specializes in showcasing the 
 culturally rich area of East and South-East Europe. LIBERTATE was 
 immediately picked up for North American distribution by Synergetic Film 
 and will start its theatrical run at Laemmle Town Center in Encino on 
 October 23\n\nLIBERTATE tells the story of the chaotic days during the 
 December 1989 revolution that overthrew the Communist regime in Romania, 
 with the Transylvanian city of Sibiu turning into the scene of a violent 
 assault on a Police unit that quickly escalated into a bloody 
 confrontation. In a desperate attempt to escape the siege, Police Captain 
 Viorel is captured by the army and thrown into an empty swimming pool along 
 with hundreds of prisoners accused of being terrorists. Chaos that ensues 
 is portrayed with stunning cinematic energy. The film makes us pose and 
 reflect on the fragility of any system buckling under the forces unleashed 
 by the branches of government at war with each other, and with the people 
 they are purported to protect. \n
