COLLECTIVE is now available ON THE BIG SCREEN, in London. - 06 December 2020

You can watch in CURZON cinemas, this December.
Director: Alexander Nanau
Romania/2019/109 min/documentary/in Romanian with English subtitles
Bookings: https://www.curzoncinemas.com/bloomsbury/film-info/collective

In 2015, a fire at Bucharest's Colectiv club leaves 27 dead and 180 injured. Soon, more burn victims begin dying in hospitals from wounds that were not life-threatening. Then a doctor blows the whistle to a team of investigative journalists. One revelation leads to another as the journalists start to uncover vast health care fraud. When a new health minister is appointed, he offers unprecedented access to his efforts to reform the corrupt system but also to the obstacles he faces. Following journalists, whistle-blowers, burn victims, and government officials, Collective is an uncompromising look at the impact of investigative journalism at its best.

You can also watch it online, on Curzon Home Cinema (available in the UK):
https://www.curzonhomecinema.com/film/watch-collective-film-online

Apart from selections in the best film festivals and the awards Collective has won, Collective has been chosen as Romania’s official Oscar 2021 entry and it has been nominated for the Best European Documentary at the European Film Awards 2020.
Collective has raving reviews in dozens of publications, including The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, IndieWire, The Times and The Sunday Times, Sight & Sound, Washington Post, Financial Times, and many more.

“A MASTERPIECE.” Rolling Stone, “EXPLOSIVE.” Variety, 
“OUTSTANDING.” The Los Angeles Times, “MASTERLY.” The New York Times
