The movie tells the story of a road trip through the Romanian freestyle snowboard scene.

With professional snowboarders from countries like Slovakia, France, Poland or Hungary we met up with locals and professional riders from Romania to discover the Carpathian mountain region. Interesting interviews about the development of sport and scene but also problems young Romanian riders have to deal with are completed with the most progressive eastern European freestyle snowboarding.

The new website includes a donation system for Blickinsfreie’s projects. Blickinsfreie’s fans can now actively support their projects by making donations.

So you will have to donate 3 Euros and then you will be able to download the full high definition version of the movie “From Romania with Love”.

What do these cities have in common? Everywhere in these cities the new snowboard documentary production “From ROMANIA with LOVE” from Blickinsfreie celebrated an unique premiere.

The cinemas were extremely well filled, the after parties became classics and most bars had trouble providing enough drinks for the party crowd.

With the experience of how snowboarding looks like in Romania most people went home with smile on their faces excited to feel their feed on the board again.

The question if the premiere tour was a success has been answered by producer René Eckert with a smile on his face: “I guess the pictures of the tour should answers that question good enough.” (you can see some pictures from the movie premiere on our site).

Further information about the movie

Andy Fazekas a young student from Sibiu in Romania could probably never imagine that a present what he got from his German relatives in 1984 would have such a big impact on the youth in communistic Romania. A short time later he was appointed from the former communistic general secretary of Romania, Nicolae Ceausescu, to present the sport snowboarding during a big winter event to the whole nation. With the years a passionate scene developed in the Transylvanian mountain region in Romania. They dedicated their whole attention to develop that new sport in their way in the whole country. Self-made snowboards due to the bad economic situation most people have been into, problems with resorts, missing snowparks and the general unacceptance towards the sport have been the scene´s daily routine. But still no one got discouraged and tried to achieve and live his dream of snowboarding.
