         <description><![CDATA[Dear film lovers,

The Romanian Film Festival in London (RFF) is back, continuing the tradition of the festival as a joyful celebration of Romanian cinema. For the past 17 years RFF has brought to the UK a glittering and stimulating array of Romanian titles, and, following the hiatus of the pandemic, Profusion is delighted to bring RFF back to the elegant Curzon Soho on Shaftesbury Avenue. If you are in central London this November (24-28), come and catch a film. <img src="/images/image/Romanian%20Film%20Festival/2022/2_2022%20leaflet%20(Small).jpg" width="100%" alt="romanian film festival 2022" title="Romanian Film Festival 2022" />]]></description>
