Great update for DON’T LET ME DIE by Romanian director Andrei Epure. After its world premiere at the 78th Locarno Film Festival, it was announced that it will also participate at this year’s 66th Thessaloniki International Film Festival, one of the major film events of the South Eastern Europe region and Europe, in general.

The film, which was supported by SEE Cinema Network during its 2023 Funding Round, will be participating at the Meet the Neighbors+ competition section of the festival along other 11 feature films.

The 66th edition of the festival will run through 30 October until 9 November 2025. The 38th General Assembly of SEE Cinema Network is slated to take place on Friday 7 November at Thessaloniki, within the framework of TiFF66.

Congratulations are in order for the team behind ‘Don’t Let Me Die’. We sincerely hope this participation gathers great recognition for the project, with both audiences and jury members, as well as forge a path towards a forthcoming wide international theatrical release.
