The second Taiwan European Film Festival, which opens on Thursday and runs through Oct. 8, will be expanded to three cities, with 10 European films being screened, organizers announced yesterday in Taipei. The event is the country's only film festival to show exclusively European films, said festival organizer Frederic Laplanche of the European Economic and Trade Office in Taipei, who added that it would "let Taiwanese people feel the united diversity in the European Union and the European lifestyle." Three of the films, Soccer Day from Spain, Liberated Zone from Germany and In Orange from the Netherlands, are centered around soccer. "Soccer to Europe is like air to [other] humans. We breathe and sleep with it," Laplanche claimed. The films will be screened in Taichung Universal Cinema City from Sunday to Sept. 28, at the Taipei Eslite Hsinyi from Sept. 28 to Oct. 1, and in the Hsinchu Museum of Images from Oct. 4 to Oct. 8. Showings in Taichung and Hsinchu will be free of charge.
