Eastern Promises

This section is dedicated to the countries that used to belong to the Eastern Bloc. Besides Poland and Hungary, we will also explore the recent production of Russia, the Balkan countries and Central Asia. Our menu includes contemplative art house films, mainstream blockbusters and even a couple of animated action movies à la Bond. We will look at some physical and emotional traumas stemming from the two world wars and the Balkan conflict and see a couple of new film releases dealing with intimate troubles.
