As of today, March 22nd<\/sup> \u00a0you can buy tickets<\/a> to the opening of the American Independent Film Festival, which will take place on the April 27th<\/sup>, with I, Tonya<\/em> (2017), about the well known skater Tonya Harding, one of the most acclaimed films of the year.<\/p>\n

The screening will take place at 20:30 at Cinema PRO, and the film will be introduced by one of the main characters, actor Sebastian Stan<\/strong>.

Sebastian Stan is an American actor, born in Romania, in Constanta, who has really risen in Hollywood these past years \u2013 being present in films like The Martian<\/em>, Black Swan<\/em> and the series Captain America.

You can also purchase tickets for Wonder Wheel<\/em> and Lucky<\/em> \u2013 by John Carroll Lynch, two films that will be shown exclusively and in premiere during the festival.<\/p>\n

Wonder Wheel<\/em> is Woody Allen\u2019s most recent comedy, and will screen at Cinema PRO on April 29th<\/sup>, at 20:30. The film is considered by critics to be the best in the last five years of the director\u2019s career. Justin Timberlake stars alongside Kate Winslet and Juno Temple and tells the story of four characters whose lives meet in the midst of the busy Coney Island amusement park, sometime in the 50s\u2019.<\/p>\n

The third film programmed for the first weekend of the festival for which the public can already buy tickets, “Lucky,” features David Lynch, the reputed author of “Twin Peaks” or “Mullholland Drive.” Lynch, who plays under the wand of another Lynch, interprets the role of the eccentric “Howard,” one of Lucky’s buddies. The film is a love letter dedicated to actor Harry Dean Stanton\u2019s life and career (“Paris, Texas”, 1984). The film received the Ecumenical Jury Prize at Locarno in 2017 and it will be presented also in Bucharest on April 28, from 20:30 at Cinema Muzeul \u021a\u0103ranului.<\/p>\n
