The Sun of Moldova Rises Again – For Us and Our Children!
For the first time in the last 35 years, Romania takes an important step in reaffirming its cultural and historical identity through the „Soarele Moldovei” series. This production is not just a film, but a living history lesson, a window into the past, through which our children can see and understand the struggle, courage, and sacrifice of those who built this country.
The Sun of Moldova. The Beginning tells the story of the childhood of Ștefan the Great, in a unique effort to bring to the forefront the values and traditions that define us as a nation.
Ion STEFANOVICI, President of CAPDR:
“I do this not only out of passion for history, but from a deep sense of responsibility. I want my children to know their past, their roots, and the values that define us as a nation. I want them to grow up knowing who Ștefan the Great was, how our history was written, and what it truly means to be Romanian.
After 35 years, Romania is once again promoting its history and great forebears. The Sun of Moldova series is not just a cinematic project, but an essential endeavor for reaffirming our cultural and historical identity.
It is our duty to support such initiatives and actively contribute to promoting national heritage, both in Romania and beyond its borders.”
An Absolute Premiere for Romania and an Exceptional Initiative in Promoting National History!
We, strong supporters of promoting cultural and historical values, reaffirm our commitment by joining the cinematic project The Sun of Moldova. The Beginning, a unique endeavor that brings to the forefront the childhood of Ștefan the Great. This innovative initiative, launched by Razem Pictures, is exclusively available on its own platform www.soarelemoldovei.ro.
A New Way to Discover the History of Moldova
At a price lower than a movie ticket, viewers can watch an hour of storytelling that blends emotion, drama, and history, directly from the comfort of their home, with family or friends. The Sun of Moldova. The Beginning recreates a crucial episode from Ștefan the Great’s childhood, in a story inspired both by historical facts and an ancient legend.
For News Moldova, Moldova Invest, and CAPDR, this project represents more than just a film – it is an opportunity to bring back to the public’s attention the importance of historical heritage and support educational initiatives that contribute to strengthening national identity.
An Innovative Distribution Model and Social Impact
The film is available through a revolutionary streaming solution, developed by the American company Olyn, which allows both easy viewing and audience participation in promoting the project.
A portion of the revenue generated by viewings will be automatically directed to the “Calea Victoriei Foundation”, offering young people and adults the opportunity to attend cultural events and courses in essential fields for their education.
Moreover, viewers can earn income by sharing their own film purchase link, thus creating a participatory ecosystem. This approach supports independent films that do not have easy access to traditional distribution networks.
Full Support for Promoting Cultural and Cinematic Heritage
“Through this partnership, we aim to bring to the forefront cinematic productions that highlight the national history and culture. The Sun of Moldova. The Beginning is a project that resonates deeply with our vision for the development and promotion of the Moldova Region, both nationally and internationally.
Ion Ștefanovici (President of CAPDR), together with his son Radovan, Claudia Stavrositu, and Adrian Codoi, the producers of the film Soarele Moldovei.
We support this initiative and invite all those interested in our history to discover it through this film. In this context, we intend to start promoting this project in the Moldova Region, in each county, and also in the Republic of Moldova.
This project blends with our regional identity and we consider it a moral obligation to offer unconditional support to this initiative. Let us not forget that one of the key components of promoting tourism in the Moldova Region, as well as in the Republic of Moldova, is based precisely on the development of the ȘTEFANIEN ROUTES within the national cultural-tourist routes. Let us also not forget the ȘTEFANIAN FESTIVAL, an extremely important program for our regional but also national identity,” stated CAPDR President, Ion STEFANOVICI.
A Film About the Formation of a Legend
In 1450, at the Suceava court, young Ștefan witnessed the power struggles between boyars and the first external threats against Moldova. A dramatic event will deeply mark his soul and contribute to shaping the future of the great ruler.
The cast includes Vladimir Andriescu, Cristian Popa, Valentina Popa, Ovidiu Usvat, Gheorghe Jindiceanu, and many other remarkable actors, while the project is made by a talented team led by Claudia Stavrositu (screenplay and direction), Adrian Codoi (production), Toma Velio (cinematography), and Matei Bucur Mihaescu (soundtrack).
Razem Pictures: “We are confident that Romanians from the country and abroad will embrace this new viewing opportunity, which we consider represents the future for independent films that do not have easy access to traditional distribution networks”
“We are extremely happy that our film will be available to the public and proud that we did not give up in the face of obstacles encountered during the production and distribution of this project.
We had the courage to move forward and here we are, the first to take the risk of launching a cinematic project using a revolutionary technical solution, which suited us perfectly: we have the opportunity to invest in education and share the revenues with our audience.
Thus, the final result depends only on us and our audience. It is up to us whether we will succeed in offering more young people the chance to attend free general culture courses in the humanities and cultural fields offered by the Calea Victoriei Foundation. And if people enjoy the film and recommend it further, we share the success with them and make them part of this story so that we can continue it.
We are confident that Romanians from the country and abroad will welcome this new viewing opportunity, which we consider represents the future for independent films that do not have easy access to traditional distribution networks.
Based on the feedback from the film promotion campaign conducted over the last month, we are confirming that there is an audience for our project, and that matters most. People want to see something different, and we were not mistaken.” – Razem Pictures producers.
