This year the film festival is expanding and will take place in two cities: Beijing and Chengdu, for the first time. The screenings will take place in Chengdu at the Stellar Yingdu Cinema from November 19th to December 4th,2009.
The film festival, which is financed by the Delegation of the European Commission to China and supported by the Swedish Presidency, invites all 27 EU Member States to showcase one recent, popular and successful film per country.
