On Wednesday, May 11, the Cinepolitica Nights series will continue with the premiere screening in Romania of the documentary No Orders! directed by Szalay Péter (Hungary, 2020). Also for the first time in the country, Milos Pusic’s Working Class Heroes (Serbia, 2022) will be screened later the same day, followed at 21:00 by the local premiere screening of Ascension, directed by Jessica Kingdon.
