VERONICA

Eat Your Feelings Cinema is an experience that brings together storytelling, food and cinema. In doing so, it aims to explore provocative subjects from a feminist standpoint and inspire exciting conversations that extend food outside of its domestic context. A cinematic continuation of sonic adventure Eat Your Feelings Radio, the screenings introduce a diverse movie selection that emphasises provocative subjects accompanied by themed snacks, consumed at specific moments. The screenings open with an introductory talk and eating instructions, followed by an informal Q&A around drinks, and sharing stories, our experiences and of course our feelings.

The result of a fruitful research on female directors in Eastern Europe during the Iron Curtain, this is the first screening of a mini-series introducing you to the world of cinematic opportunities that was open to women during that complicated time.

On her birthday, Veronica, a bright and imaginative orphan, receives a magical gift from a fairy—an enchanted bag that grants her anything she wishes. However, when her pride and selfishness get the best of her, the fairy takes the gift away, teaching her a lesson in kindness, generosity, and humility. Determined to reclaim the bag, Veronica embarks on a whimsical and adventurous journey through a fantastical world filled with talking animals, mischievous characters, and magical encounters. Along the way, she learns the true value of friendship, courage, and selflessness.

Blending music, fairy-tale elements, and vibrant cinematography, Veronica is a beloved Romanian classic that continues to enchant audiences of all ages with its heartfelt message and magical storytelling.
