To­day marks the halfway point in the 2013 Eu­ro­pean Film Fes­ti­val.

So far, all the films have been screened at Movi­eTowne, but from to­mor­row, To­ba­go film fans get a chance to see some of the best Eu­ro­pean films of re­cent years.

The de­light­ful British com­e­dy Cheer­ful Weath­er for the Wed­ding is one of the high­lights in to­day's sched­ule. In this Don­ald Rice di­rect­ed movie, there are lots of laughs as Dol­ly's wed­ding plans are put in dan­ger with the ar­rival of her ex-lover Joseph.

The fes­ti­val con­tin­ues un­til May 28 at Movi­eTowne, Port-of-Spain and runs from to­mor­row un­til May 28 at Movi­eTowne To­ba­go.

The EFF is an an­nu­al show­case of films from the Eu­ro­pean Union (EU), and is or­gan­ised by the EU Mem­ber States with diplo­mat­ic mis­sions in Trinidad and To­ba­go–France, Ger­many, the Nether­lands, Spain and the Unit­ed King­dom–and the EU Del­e­ga­tion.

For the sec­ond year run­ning, the EFF is be­ing pre­sent­ed in as­so­ci­a­tion with the T&T Film Fes­ti­val (ttff).
