Raindance Film Festival Gives Balkan Cinema a London Showcase
Highlights of modern Balkan cinema will get an annual airing at London’s Raindance Film Festival (25 September – 6 October).
The Raindance Film Festival has established itself as the premiere destination for the best of Balkan cinema. Each year, organisers tailor a programme of the most talked-about regional films, international festival favourites, directorial debuts and first screenings, alongside panel discussions and cast Q&As.
In the past, the films have attracted heated debate among the diaspora for their uncompromising impression of contemporary Balkan life, while some more feel-good films are praised for acknowledging the heart and humour of the region.
