Leading up to the ENFF, All the Best by Snježana Tribuson will screen on October 29th in Utrecht. Last year, this film opened the festival in The Hague. The director will attend the screening scheduled for 19.00 in the Filmtheater ‘t Hoogt.
All of the above films are co-financed by the Croatian Audiovisual Centre.
The Eastern Neighbours Film Festival brings new and exciting films from Eastern and South Eastern Europe, mainly from countries that are not EU member states or have only just recently joined. The objective is to connect Dutch and international audiences to the cinematography and cultures of their eastern neighbours. Films range in genres from feature and documentary, to short and animated, many of which are premiering in the Netherlands.
