Scena9

https://www.scena9.ro/

Scena9 is an online platform primarily dedicated to the Romanian cultural industry, covering books, films, music, theatre, media and the digital world, and visual arts. It publishes information, interviews with Romanian and foreign personalities, features, reviews, and opinion pieces. In addition, it produces videos and podcasts about current events in the cultural sector and relevant trends.

The organisation aims to create a dialogue between cultural and artistic expressions that do not often converge. It reports on and curates cultural phenomena while balancing high and low cultures.

It keeps the audience updated with emerging creators and artists across various artistic fields, following their projects and trajectories.

It also publishes stories on the environment, education, science, history, philosophy, work, lifestyle and family.

In 2018, Scene9 launched a print version of the magazine.

Scena9 is part of a BRD-Groupe Société Générale bank (BRD) initiative to support journalism and culture.
