ONE covers New Europe Film Festival
One Magazine™ is proud to be covering the exciting New Europe Film Festival.
The second-annual New Europe Film Festival launches with the dual mission of presenting new cutting-edge work from Eastern Europe within the UK, while promoting a dialog between autochthonous citizens of Scotland and its new immigrant communities. The bulk of the film work is from Poland, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania and Romania, creating a rich palette of themes common on both sides of the channel.
Director Ilmar Raag’s Klass is a brutal and brutally honest portrayal of the school shootings at Jokela High School, Estonia - as well as a formidable challenge to the glossiness of Gus Van Zant’s Elephant. With these and other films-that-matter in the mix, Festival Director Jan Naszewski has put together a unique visual discussion, light and dark, which follows people across continents, and engages contemporary themes that penetrate borders. Another jewel in the crown of Scotland.
