EU Film Festival
Since moving to Chicago and becoming a member at the Gene Siskel Film Center, I've discovered that they have this fabulous EU Film Festival every spring. They seem to partner with the embassies and they get submissions from the member nations. This year, they had submissions from every country of the EU, even Malta!
