Movies that are set to be screened at EUFF this year include After the Wedding from Denmark (nominated for the Best Foreign Film at the Oscars in 2007), Get Away From Me from Spain (9 Awards), Paris from France, 9 and a Half Dates from Hungary, La Febbre from Italy, A Chicken is no Dog from Belgium and Arabian Nights from Luxemborg.
