Chicago – The third week of the 12th Annual EU Film Festival at the Siskel Film Center is nearly upon us and we’re back to give you an idea of what to expect in the second half of arguably the best fest in the Windy City. We feature great new films from Ireland, Denmark, the United Kingdom and Belgium.
The first half of EU 2009 (which you can read about here and here) produced some excellent films including Ireland’s “Kisses,” Denmark’s “Worlds Apart,” and France’s “Shall We Kiss?” There’s nothing that we’ve seen that’s quite as notable as “Kisses” or “Worlds Apart,” the two best of the fest through week three, but there is a quartet of films well worth seeing this weekend. Get your calendar out and take notes.
You’re going to be busy on Saturday with a dark trio of quality films - Denmarks “Fear Me Not,...

This is part of collection of emailer interviews conducted prior to the festival - we would like to thank the filmmakers for their time and the hardworking publicists for making this possible.] Rupert Wyatt Can you discuss (in a nutshell) your filmmaking/directing background (your previous short film experiences) that have led you to where you are today...I've made about fifteen short Films, all varying in budget, length and outcome. Some I'm very proud of, others I would consider very good training ground but nothing more. Writing, setting up and finding finance for all of the Shorts was predictably hard but tt was the best and possibly only way I was able to cut my teeth in directing drama on a regular basis.
