EUROCINEMA PRESENTS ITS FIRST EUROPEAN FILM FESTIVAL
WITH 25 U.S. PREMIERES FEB. 6 – 15, 2009 IN MIAMI

10-DAY EVENT IS OUTGROWTH OF ACCLAIMED AND SUCCESSFUL “ROMANCE IN A CAN” FILM FESTIVAL

Eurocinema, the first movie channel in the country dedicated solely to foreign films, has a Valentine’s Day present for lovers of European cinema throughout South Florida and across the country. Some 25 independent first-run foreign feature films will make their premieres on U.S. soil at the First Annual Eurocinema European Film Festival, February 6 through February 15, 2009 at indoor and outdoor venues throughout the greater Miami area.

The new 10-day event is an outgrowth of the widely acclaimed and hugely successful “Romance In A Can” film festival that has captivated Miami area audiences the past two years. “RIAC,” the brainchild of local community leader and arts patron Isabelle Landman, is the only festival of romantic films in the U.S. That festival paired screenings of feature-length European films making their domestic debuts with an array of special events, as well as raised funds for youth arts programs.
