EUROPEAN UNION FILM FESTIVAL 2004

This is the European Film Festival’s 13th annual appearance, and there’s no film freak here who isn’t glad of it. Only one problem bothers us: between the 1st and 13th of June, when are we going to find time to do any work? But let’s worry about that when the time comes.

The really big one, coming with lots of prizes and commendations, is The Best of Youth from Italy - all 6hrs. 23 mins. of it. Also tipped is It’s a Jungle Out There from Germany. Of special interest this time are the newcomers to the Union and the Festival, Poland, the Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary and Slovakia. Just what are they going to show us?

You’ll have noted we’re moved from the previous venue, Sipsong Huaykaeow, to Major Cineplex, and the price has made a bit of an upward swoop too: B.70 per seat. Still not bad, when you consider that’s below normal prices at Major Cineplex.

Anyway, thanks to the EU and the local personnel organising the Festival. Long may it continue, we say, in all the appropriate languages.
