CINÉAST Central and Eastern European Film Festival in Luxembourg 11-28 October 2012 GENERAL PRESENTATION The "CinEast" festival (Central and Eastern European Film Festival Luxembourg) has existed since 2008. Its aim is to present to the Luxembourg public a selection of the best cinema from the Central and Eastern European countries of the former communist bloc. Since its creation, the Festival has been constantly growing and diversifying - the gradual increase in the number of visitors (5,200 in 2011) proves that the Festival has found its audience and has also been able to attract new crowds. The CinEast festival is a film festival in its own right, but is also an event seeking complementarities between cinema and other art forms (music, photography, etc.). As such, it offers the Luxembourg public a rare opportunity to experience the cultures of the participating countries. Another dimension, and one to which the organisers pay special attention, is the festival as a forum for exchanges and conviviality. That is why numerous events on the festival programme have been designed to encourage participants to come together and exchange ideas (after-film chats, debates, gastronomic events, DJ nights etc.).2012 NEWS A number of new features await festival-goers this year: Six new countries have joined those already represented, bringing the total number of participating countries to 12. Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia have been joined by the three Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) as well as Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia. Apart from the well established festival

Around ten films included in the official competition will be evaluated by an international jury.

A literary evening in presence of the Czech writer Jaroslav Rudi" is also planned. For the very first time the festival will feature a workshop for film professionals. The aim of the CinEast Pro workshop organised in partnership with associations of professionals and film institutes is to provide a platform for meetings and exchanges between film professionals from Luxembourg and from Central and Eastern European countries.PROGRAMME - FILMS As in previous years, the programme focuses on new productions, many of them films which have received awards at major festivals, but film lovers will also find a selection of classics and some lesser-known movies, often related to one of the thematic cycles. As regards the featured genres, the vast majority of films on the programme are feature films; however, an important place is also accorded to documentaries, animated films and short films. - Official competition and the jury Around ten films will be included in the official competition. An international jury will award the Grand Prix CinEast 2012 as well as, most likely, the Special Prize of the Jury. An Audience Award will also be awarded. - "Welcome to..." evenings The participation of the six new countries (Croatia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Serbia, Slovenia) will be celebrated by special welcome evenings. These six special evenings will include the screening of the first film from the relevant country, with special guests and will be followed by an informal part with typical drinks and snacks. The programme includes a varied selection of films from these countries, most of which have received major awards. A very special "Baltic Night" featuring films and music will be held at Melusina on Saturday 13 October to welcome the Baltic countries. - Cinécycles Many of the recent films and older movies shown will fall into one of the two thematic cycles: "Back to the Roots": films from this cycle address the theme of roots at both the individual or collective dimension: origins, where do we belong, return to one's roots - these are some of the issues reflected upon in the selected films. "FunnyEast": a selection of the best comedies from the Central and Eastern European countries, mostly recent but also a few classics. -
