MARUCA STANCU (11 YEARS), ACTRESS IN LITTLE STARS SCHOOL’S FILMS , HAS BEEN CHOSEN THE PRESIDENT OF THE JURY AT THE INTERNATIONAL CHILD FILM FESTIVAL IN IRAN

The first film and television school for children in Romania, Little Stars School, marked a new performance yesterday. Maruca Stancu (11 years old) attending school is in Tehran this week, where she was elected as a president of the jury of one of the world’s largest international film festivals for children. It is for the second consecutive year when the Little Stars of Romania occupy the most important position, something that has not happened in the history of almost 30 years of the festival. Last year, Niki Iftimoaie (12 years old) was voted unanimously by children from over 10 countries around the world.

Maruca has already starred in several children’s films, including “The Adventures of Little Landscapes in the Park,” and “The Homework Machine” that took part in the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in 2014 and this year in 2015. At the end of the week she will hand over to the winner the Grand Prize of the Festival and will take a speech on the stage of an impressive hall in front of over 2,000 people. She said, “It was a great chance for me to get here. I see a lot of children’s films every day and motivate me to be better and better, and what I learned at Little Stars School, how to introduce myself, I have no emotions and even make a speech on the stage helped me to be the president of the jury. ” At this time, all the talented children who want to follow Maraca’s way can come to the pre-selection organized by the school.

The “Little Stars School” Children’s Film and Television School, www.micilevedete.ro, is a non-governmental educational project, unique in Romania, aimed exclusively at children aged between 6 and 12, offering personal development tools and emotional intelligence through three innovative disciplines, made especially for children: Movie Technique, Interpretation and Diction for Children. Five years since its inception, Little Stars School boasts a portfolio of 20 short films for children, most of them with educational themes, of which 5 were selected at the Cannes Film Festival in 2015, 2014 , 2012, 2011 and 2010. The films are made by sisters Ariana Pendiuc (director) and Ema Pendiuc (producer).
