AFI European Union Film Showcase

December 2018 / Silver Spring, MD / afi.com/silver/eushowcase

For the last 30 years, AFI has given East Coast cinephiles a taste of the year’s best in foreign cinema. Taking place in December at the AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center, the AFI European Union Film Showcase is the perfect send-off from the previous year in film, and acts as a great warm-up to awards season, programming “many countries’ official Oscar submissions for Best Foreign Language Film,” notes a panelist. As is the case for any AFI-sanctioned film fest, viewers will also get to catch masterworks that may be too divisive or formally daring to secure proper distribution, with a panelist explaining, “They give the community an opportunity to see films from around the world that they may not have a chance to see again. I can always get down with that.”
