For the second year in a row, Syrian film fans will once again enjoy European films during nine days of showings in one of Damascus' oldest cinemas, according to a press release from the EU Delegation in Damascus.

Fourteen European embassies and cultural centres will show 16 films, ranging from light romantic comedies to documentary films from 9-18 May in the Al Kindi Theatre. Entrance is free.

The festival has been organised in partnership with the Syrian National Film Organisation of the Ministry of Culture, the European Union (EU) Delegation to Syria and the Spanish EU presidency.

This year the festival will, for the first time, also reach cities beyond Damascus, with several of the films shown in Lattakia and Homs in September.

The EU also funds a regional programme, Euromed Audiovisual, which aims to contribute to intercultural dialogue and cultural diversity through support to building cinematographic and audiovisual capacity in the region.
