Text Box: New Europe Film Festival Text Box: Bringing films from the New Europe to the UK! Text Box: Dolls (Pusinky) - Czech Rep Text Box: New Europe is a term used for the twelve new members of the European Union that joined the Community in May 2004 and January 2007. New Europe Film Festival has been bringing the films from the new EU member states to the Edinburgh Filmhouse cinema since 2007. The organisers hope that this annual event will help the local Edinburgh audience and the immigrants from Eastern and Central Europe to establish a dialogue about their life in the enlarged Europe.   The dates this year will be 16th - 27th April 2009 (Edinburgh and 4th - 6th May (London).   This year’s films come from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Estonia, Hungary, Poland and Romania. Additionally, the Edinburgh Filmhouse Bar will host an exhibition of classic Polish film posters. We are also planning to have a band playing at the opening night. This year logo and trailer were made by a Polish animator, Magdalena Osinska.   This year you can book the tickets in advance at the Filmhouse and Barbican webistes, which is great as many shows sold out in the past and many people couldn't get in.   We decided to partner with the Polish Cultural Festival in Edinburgh this year with our Polish films section. Check out their website for more info and look for their logo with a cock! You can join our group on Facebook and invite your friends to our Facebook event.   I would be great to see you at the screenings! Spread the word...
