Febiofest

April 4, 2008

Film fans have a rare opportunity starting tomorrow when the Febiofest film festival launches its 15th edition. Billed as the largest film festival in the Czech Republic (edging out the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in numbers of admissions), Febiofest offers a rich selection of films from around the world, most of them with English-language subtitles. Arthouse fans have the rare opportunity to see films which seldom screen in theaters, including breakout Icelandic thriller Jar City, Cannes Jury Prize-winner Silent Light, Balkan drama Armin, and Romanian classic Asphalt Tango. The festival programme also includes crowd-pleasing titles like Sergei Bodrov’s Oscar-nominated Ghengis Khan story Mongol, romantic comedy 2 Days In Paris and Iraq war thriller In The Valley Of Elah, plus a tribute to Alan Parker, including screenings of his mind-blowing film Pink Floyd: The Wall. Most screenings take place at Village Cinemas Andel.
