SEE Fest 2016

SEEfest, the South East European Film Festival in Los Angeles has pioneered the concept of regional, cross-border programming with issue-driven films about the Balkans and South East Europe, where borders of all kinds are fluid and porous just as often as poisonous. 
Every spring, we partner with SEE Fest, which presents films from 15 countries of the region. 
These films tell a larger story about this part of the world, and take you on a journey across borders and cultures. 

Join us for an exciting trek to these cinematic crossroads!
