1-7 maart organiseert CineSud online de zesde editie van het Euregion Film Festival. Een week lang kun je online genieten van de beste korte films van het moment, een speciale Made in Heerlen-selectie en Filmmakers- en CineTalks.
Euregion Film Festival 2021
Het Euregion Film Festival 2021 heeft als centrale thema We'll See It Through. De covid19-pandemie heeft ons dagelijks leven nog steeds in haar greep. Ook het festival vindt daarom online plaats. Maar er gloort hoop. En we zullen sterker uit deze tijd komen, dat is zeker.
Voor de officiële selectie van het Euregion Film Festival 2021 zijn 20 films geselecteerd in competitie. 12 hiervan strijden in de internationale competitie, 8 in de Euregionale competitie. Daarnaast is er een speciale Made in Heerlen-selectie, met recente films gemaakt in en/of over Heerlen. De complete lijst geselecteerde films vind je onder aan de pagina.
