Films from France, Germany and Poland were also among the award winners at the online iteration of the Romanian gathering. After a ten-day, open-air edition in September, the Astra Film Festival, Romania’s biggest documentary gathering, enticed documentary lovers again with a rich selection for its online edition (16-25 October), which also showcased the festival’s traditional competitions, New Voices in Documentary Cinema, and the Central and Eastern European Competition. The top award of the 27th edition of the gathering went to Sine Skibsholt's Long Live Love (Denmark). The jury, consisting of Italian programmer Federico d’Accinni, Finnish author Ilona Hongisto and Romanian programmer Andrei Tănăsescu, praised Long Live Love for being an “imaginative coming-of-age story, where everyday footage and family archive material turn into the empowering story of a young woman with a lust for life”. The jury also gave a Special Mention to Éléonore Weber’s There Will Be No More Night.
