The 19th edition of the Filmtett Workshop will take place at the Pásztortűz Guesthouse in Sânvăsii, Mureș county, between July 30 and August 10.
The village was first mentioned in an official document in 1332 under the name Sancto Ladislao. According to tradition, King Ladislaus I of Hungary pitched his tent here during a hunt, but another legend holds that a monastery founded by him originally stood here – this explains the name of the settlement. In 1968, the village center merged with Gălești. Since April 2004, it has been an independent settlement again – it won its independence through a local referendum.
Sânvăsii is located 18 km south of Marosvásárhely (Târgu Mureș). It is located on the right bank of the Niraj river. The enchanting village nestled among gentle hills is inhabited by friendly and hospitable people.
