Do the Continental: European Union Film Showcase

ONGOING: Having a European Union film festival isn't exactly progressive. You're not showcasing oppressed populations or views that rarely get heard in the Western world. But here's the secret: as long as the films are excellent, nothing else matters.

And the films will be excellent. We're excited for the adaptation of the novel "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," a Swedish import. You'll probably be most interested in "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus," otheriwse known as Heath Ledger's last, unfinished film — which also stars Johnny Depp and Jude Law.
