กรุงเทพฯ--24 พ.ค.--ประชาสัมพันธ์งาน EU Film Festival 2012
After two decades of presenting European culture through the celluloid screen to Thai cinephiles, the Delegation of the European Union to Thailand proudly presents the 21st European Union Film Festival 2012 at the Bangkok Art and Cultural Centre (BACC) from 31 May to 10 June 2012. The festival will then move to Vista Kadsuankaew cinema in Chiang Mai for a second showing from 15 to 24 June. All films will be shown in their original language with subtitles in English. Admission to all films is free of charge at both festivals.
The European Union Film Festival (EUFF) 2012 showcases Europe’s cultural diversity, portrayed in 23 films from 17 different EU Member States. Many genres will be represented throughout the festival, including children's films, drama, romance, comedy and political documentary. Entering into its third decade, the European Union Film Festival this year screens recent productions as well showcasing stories from as early as the 1900s to present the roots of present-day European culture. The films suit audiences of every age including the Substitute: a comedy story of a new elementary teacher who can read kids' minds; Charlotte: A Royal at War: a documentary based on a true story about the untold events which took place during Hitler's Third Reich; Welcome: the story of a 17-year-old Kurdish boy’s adventure trying to cross the England Channel without the ability to swim; and The Flying Pigs: a story about those involved in the football business in Poland, the country that hosts Euro 2012 this year.
