Things are quite different since the beginning of the festival. Being here from the first edition, the dynamics of the public has changed. As I was talking with director Cristi Puiu, who was here at the first edition and then now, twelve years later, everything looks quite interesting: the place looks identically, but the public is different. And most important, the audience has grown significantly. I remember that we started with 400 persons as public, and then the audience has grown. Since 2007, the festival was big enough in order not to explain anymore when I introduced myself what is Anonimul \u2013 people already know about the festival. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 18px;\">Also, from the very beginning we positioned ourselves as a niche, which couldn\u2019t be the best thing, to be honest. In time, we realised that the locals can also become our public, first watching half of a movie, then an entire movie and then even asking questions, creating relationships.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_btn title=&#8221;Voir plus&#8221;
