EUROPE WITHOUT THE JETLAG! ► Pacific Cinémathèque and the Embassies, Consulates and Cultural Institutes of the member states of the European Union are proud to present Vancouver’s 12th European Union Film Festival, our annual finger-on-the-pulse showcase of acclaimed new and recent films from across greater Europe. With entries from 26 of the European Union’s 27 member states (only tiny Malta, without an indigenous film industry, is not represented), this year’s festival will be our largest ever. Each country has carte blanche to choose the film that will represent them. Their choices this year include trenchant contemporary dramas, edgy black comedies, barbed social satires, touching coming-of-age tales, offbeat gems, psychological thrillers, historical pieces, national hits, international award-winners, new films by leading directors, first features by notable emerging talents, an Oscar nominee and a number of official Oscar submissions, and several films suitable for children or young teens. Together, these exciting selections 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.
