Calgary European Film Festival 18 countries present different views, different worlds on the big screen Adrian “Adi” Galvan arrived in Canada from Romanian in the late 2000s like many other immigrants when the economy was still thriving. Today he works as IT analyst but also directs the Calgary European Film Festival which has grown immensely in the past few years. In 2011 there was a Romanian film fest, with a few Bulgarians in attendance who were also interested in getting involved. Then individuals from France, Poland and Czechoslovakia followed and the first European Film Festival in the city was launched in 2012. Five years later there’s now 18 European countries represented. Galvan says that the selection of films is determined by members of the community for each country. “We assist them with negotiating the distribution fee for the film the want, and the shipping costs and details. The criteria we ask is that the film isn’t older than two or three years, and that it’s been presented at an international film festival and maybe won some awards.” Citing his some of the films he’s really excited about, Galvan says Norway’s The King’s Choice nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards, a Hungarian film Kills On Wheels described as “a meaningful action-comedy of a wheelchair-bound assassin gang” and The Stopover about two young French female soldiers who try to take a break in Cyrus after their tour of duty in Afghanistan but are troubled by what they experienced fighting. He admits he biased towards the Romanian entry, Graduation, which centers on the trails and tribulation of a young girl preparing for university and is suddenly confronted with an tough challenge for her and her family. The diversity of culture and opportunity to experience some fabulous foreign films and meet some new firends presents itself with an open invitation. The screenings will be held at the Eau Claire Market Cinema from November 5 -12.
