WHAT's ON tells you what to expect at the European Film Festival where over 20 films will be screened in 10 days
If you are a movie buff, there's a visual treat in store for you. The 14th European Film Festival of India, organised by the EU Commission and its 27 member states along with Alliance Francaise de Poona, British Council and Max Mueller Bhavan, kickstarts today at the National Film Archives of India (NFAI). Over 20 films from different parts of Europe will be screened over the two-week-long festival.

Vijay H Jadhav, Director, NFAI says, "The whole idea behind the festival is to show modern European films to movie buffs, which are not available in the Indian market, and to build bridges between the two continents."
Totally Married
A couple in their mid-thirties with a child, are in the seventh difficult year of their marriage. The sudden departure of their household maid sets off an explosive situation and then comes Irina, a 23-year old hooker to set things right.
Relatives
It is a century-old tradition in Hungary that people do not vote for, but rather against someone. Kopjass, a man of clean character, becomes the Attorney General in Zsaratnak.
At: NFAI, Law College Road from March 17 to March 27. Entry is free on a first-cum-first served basis. The inaugural function will be held on March 17 at 6.30 pm
