Palme d’Or–winning filmmaker Cristian Mungiu — whose latest film, “Fjord,” is Romania’s official submission for best international feature film at the Oscars — will be leading a delegation from his country at the upcoming American Film Market, where Romania has been set as the first-ever country of focus.

The AFM is launching this new initiative in partnership with the Creative Romanian Filmmakers (CRFM) umbrella group at this year’s market, running Nov. 10–15 at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
