“EUROPE AT 8:00” Eurochannel Short Films Tour
8:00 – 9:30 p.m., 4130 WWPH
Discover the newest perspectives of the European film scene through a series of short films from fifty-four film directors. The Eurochannel Short Films Tour has a strong regional footprint, revealing the creative genius of how cinema can be very diverse and surprising. Shaped by geographical and cultural features, those shorts films are as much charming as a work of the director’s passion. Stories of love or friendship in an adult’s brutal world, paintings of childhood feelings, stories of war or poverty, and comedies with unpredictable humor, Europe at 8:00 brings you the complexity of humanity as the European artists of the new generation see it. This series reflects unknown and unfamiliar dimensions of European reality.
