Now in its 34th year, the AFI European Union Film Showcase continues its tradition of bringing the best in European cinema to Washington, DC-area audiences. This year's selection includes 53 films from all 27 EU Member States, 11 of them are top contenders for this year's Academy Award® for Best International Feature Film and 13 U.S. and North American premieres.
Three of the films are co-presented by the DC Labor FilmFest: THE GOOD BOSS (starring Javier Bardem), BETWEEN TWO WORLDS (starring Juliette Binoche), and LUZZU.
On today’s show, Elise and Chris discuss the Showcase and the featured labor films -- two of which premiere the weekend of December 4-5 -- with AFI Silver Programming Director Todd Hitchcock and Temporary Associate Film Programmer Josh Gardner; all the films have second showings as well.
