Look east for great films

Although we are still waiting for the decisions of several Austrian institutions concerning financial support for our festival, we have already begun putting together the new LET'S CEE programme. The consistent run of success that Central and Eastern European cinema is currently displaying (as seen recently at the Berlinale 2013) combined with the fact that these movies can hardly be watched anywhere in Vienna stirs our hope that our cause and efforts will finally pay off and gain the support that this project has deserved from the very beginning. As Nathalie, who recently applied as a voluntary helper, wrote to us: "Austria should, if only due to its geographical location and ethnic diversity (…), show interest in 'eastern' culture". We agree. LET'S CEE you soon.
