European films -- what a joy!

Half the European films you watch in the cinema are supported by the EU's MEDIA programme. The programme supports the distribution of 9 out of every 10 feature films in Europe that are distributed outside their originating country. Two and a half million aficionados watch over 15 000 European screenings in more than 100 festivals funded by MEDIA. Every year 300 new European film projects are supported by MEDIA.

heh, Britain is a part of EU, and Europe. so of course they use them. you might hate the EU, but that's a comletely different thing.

British films are european films.

[guest1star]

Do you seriously believe that British films do not receive EU subsidies?

[DavidW894]

@va1987 yes because it's the budget that makes a good film. You probably think that Avatar is the best movie ever made.

I'm sorry, but one does not require a brain to be able to understand most American movies.

Most of them are just a pure waste of money.

I love our European films, just because they are more intimate then others... They concentrate on a person and make you feel. Love them.

Eh, uh, er.. I liked Shaun of the Dead.

That's about it.

Oh oh, Italian film Cannibal Holocaust, very disturbing ^^

in bruges-amazing.

[va1987]

I honestly don't like European films. Now I understand you can't achieve much with a low budget, but in comparison, American low budget movies are very good. Europe pales in comparison.

European films are depressive. Every time I see an European movie I become sad as well as everything in Europe. But the art is worth. ;)

[Franzjosefderzweite]

I think the EU has partly funded all of those that are showed here.

European films are the best. I just wish that they would make more environmentally friendly films.
