One of the special events of TIFF 2006 is the screening of "All the Invisible Children" (Venice 2005), produced by Italian actress Maria Grazia Cucinotta. It is is a UNICEF project that comprises several short films directed by important directors such as Emir Kusturica, Spike Lee, Ridley Scott, John Woo as well as others. This year it is a Romanian director's turn to delight the public with his first feature film. "A fost sau n-a fost?", directed by Corneliu Porumboiu will be presented in the opening evening of TIFF 2006. It is a story about the Romanian Revolution of December 1989, and the title question, "Was it or not?", applies to a small provincial town with no specific name. Corneliu Porumboiu's film will have its Romanian premiere in Cluj in the evening of June the 2nd.

Started in a Romanian key, TIFF 2006 will close in the rhythms and sound of the world famous Fanfara Ciocarlia from the Sase Prajini village. "The Devils of Speed" or "the fastest brass band in the world", as they are nicknamed by their fans, have turned the brass playing into art, have had concerts in 150 countries and have been the subject of a documentary - Iag Bari - Brass of Fire - winner of several important awards for documentary. Fanfara Ciocarlia will close TIFF 2006 with an explosive open air concert on the 10th of June, in the center of Cluj.
