Transilvania International Film Festival: Cine-concert: The White Nights

Transilvania International Film Festival: Cine-concert – The White Nights Experience a cinematic journey unlike any other at the 2016 Dutch masterpiece “The White Nights,” directed by Boudewijn Koole. In this 108‑minute film, a young geologist ventures into the endless daylight of northern Norway’s tundra on a scientific mission that spirals into an unexpected odyssey of survival and self‑discovery, inspired by Willem Frederik Hermans’ novel. The award‑winning soundtrack, honored with a Gouden Kalf for Best Music, is brought to life in real time by acclaimed musicians Alex Simu and George Dumitriu, who both contributed to the original score and have since become influential figures in the international jazz scene. Their dynamic collaboration reinterprets the film’s music, weaving the ambient nuances of the Arctic landscape with resonant, improvisational flair. This cine‑concert is proudly presented by Focus Netherlands with the generous support of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Romania. Join fans, film lovers, and music aficionados for an unforgettable evening where cinema and live performance collide — a true celebration of narrative, sound, and the relentless spirit of the human quest.
