European Union Film Festival

Year 2004 is coming to an end and it's usually pack with whole lot of stuff. Nope, I'm not going to talk about the "not what I've expected" Computer Fair (and I don't want to imagine how's PC Fair going to be), but it's the time for Film Festival! Used to be called European Film Festival (and I prefer to keep it that way, as it was free screening), this year screening will most likely to be a paying affair (well, if you were to ask them, they most likely will be telling you it's to off-set mountaining cost that involved in running such film fest). Anyway, location wise it's from Damansara Height to GSC cinemas. List of film is also available at the cinema website. The selection of film is ok, but not what I've expected. Selection of German language film is not as good. I Love Vienna had been shown in 2002 edition of film festival and the rerun is not so necessary. Mostly Martha well, I've seen it as well. Annaluise and Anton was shown just last month on Satellite channel Astro (according to the German month guide). Looks like I'm going for some French film this time. French film seems to be a crowd puller. I still remember French Film Festival in Mid Valley for the past 2 years. Year 2002 saw the movie Amelie screening for just 2 shows and all of it was sold out. Last year 8 Women crowd was quite ok, the first show was a big hit, full house when I was there. (I wonder what happened to my copy of 8 Women, my dear friend) . This year film fest will be showing The Spanish Apartment. After reading Alliance Française's C'est à l'Alliance newsletter review on that film, I'm so intrigued to go for that show. Still undecided whether to go for the film festival as it's almost to be on the same time as my Zertifikat Deutsch examination. I have faxed in the competition form for 2 free tickets, and if I do get it, then I shall go for it. If not, well, most likely going only for one or two if there isn't any collision of timing.
