Eu Film Club - it is a joint European cultural event which presents a various selection of contemporary European films and aims to show both the common features and the striking diversity of the present European movies. The event will last from 3rd of May till 31st of May 2009 in Cairo. The Eu film Club will be launched at the Embassy of the Czech Republic and will thereafter shift to the premises of the French Cultural Center, Hungarian Cultural Institute, Goethe-Institut and the Italian Cultural Institute.
Lithuania will be participating in the event with Inesa Kurklietyte movie "Crow Lake" which already got many international awards, among them the Best Director Award in the International Olympia Film Festival in Greece 2007. It is a story about the first childish sin: the first attempt to defeat the enemy, to walk a forbidden road and to revenge. In Crow Lake, four boys find shelter from the rules imposed by adults in a derelict ex-Soviet military base located beside a NATO airfield. The children proclaim the territory their "Freedom Zone". Meanwhile, an odd vagabond seeks shelter in no-man's-land as weel. A "territorial war" is declared and the ensuing conflict reveals the children's differing characters and callings.
