The 17th edition of the European Union Film Festival, which began here last evening with the screening of "Deep Blue Sea" from UK, has 25 out of 27 European member nations participating this time.Themed "Europe in Love", the festival shows European unity in diversity through the central theme of love.
Ambassador of the European Union, Joao Cravinho says, "The fact that this festival is in its 17th year shows its immense popularity and the interest it has generated. Each of the 25 members who have participated this time have put forth award winning movies from their countries." The festival will be touring seven cities, including Delhi, Bangalore, Pune, Chennai, Kolkata, Goa and Hyderabad.
