"Artist Emigrant" is a cultural project initiated by the Arta Banatica Cinematica Association and the film producer Sabin Dorohoi, for the promotion of artists from Timisoara who have emigrated abroad. Their stories are played through a series of recordings and live broadcasts, made in symbolic places with a special significance. Up to this point, a series of recordings have been produced that have been distributed both online and on local and national television and radio. For the continuation of this series in 2023, we are looking for emigrant musicians from Timișoara, who have worked in Europe and are returning to Romania for their summer vacation.
Film director and producer Sabin Dorohoi, the project coordinator, has been working on cultural projects on the topic of Romanian migration for over a decade and is known to the public for the short film "Calea Dunării", the touristic trilogy "Banatul Montan", the documentaries "City of Fire", "SWIM" or "Transylvania Dragon".
The media partners of the "Emigrant Artist" project are Express de Banat, Reper 24, TVR Timișoara, Banat Media, Stiri pentru Copii, "Sabin Păuța" Arts High School, Secondary School no. 12 Timișoara and the initiative has the support of the Romanian Business Leaders Foundation through the "RePatriot" project.
The project is part of the national cultural program Timișoara – European Capital of Culture in 2023 and is financed by the BEGA program, run by the Center for Culture and Art of Timiș County, with amounts allocated from the state budget, through the budget of the Ministry of Culture.
