EUFF | 2 weeks of Euro-film | Vancouver

The 10th annual EUROPEAN UNION FILM FESTIVAL is on at the Pacific Cinematheque. Highlights at this year's fest include Warden of the Dead (Pazachyt na myrtvite, Bulgaria, 2006), about a 13-year-old orphan who has spent his entire life working in a cemetary, and Czech Dream (Cesky sen, Czech Republic, 2004), a documentary about young filmmaker/pranksters who devise an experiment to see if they can use marketing to build massive hype around something that doesn't actually exist. Obviously, they don't get American Idol over there.

PACIFIC CINÉMATHÈQUE AND THE EMBASSIES, CONSULATES AND CULTURAL
Institutes of the member states of the European Union are proud to present
Vancouver’s 10th European Union Film Festival, our annual finger-on-the-pulse showcase of acclaimed new and recent films from across greater Europe. This year’s event, like last year’s, is comprised of 25 outstanding features, with entries from 25 of the European Union’s 27 member states (only Cyprus and Malta are not represented). And, with a line-up that includes an abundance of national hits, international successes and prize winners, important first features by new talents, new films by old favourites, historical pieces, edgy black comedies, political thrillers, romantic romps, trenchant social dramas and offbeat gems, we can promise, as every year, a lively, provocative, stimulating and entertaining state-of-the-Union celebration of the diversity, dynamism and accomplishment of contemporary European filmmaking.
