European Film Promotion's "New Faces in European Cinema"

European Film Promotion took their "New Faces in European Cinema" to the AFI Los Angeles International Film Festival earlier this week, spotlighting up-and-coming directors from the continent at a party hosted by the organization at AFI Fest's Rooftop Village. The directors each took the mic on a stage to give a brief intro of their individual films, and then introduced a counterpart from the eight countries represented. From left to right starting at the bottom are: Ari Alexander Magnusson, director of "Screaming Masterpiece" (Iceland); Josef Fares, director of "Zozo" (Sweden); and Pavel Strnad, producer of "Wrong Side Up" (Czech Republic). Top left is AFI director of festivals, Christian Gaines; Richard Bracewell, director of "The Gigolos" (U.K.); hiding behind him is Markus Selin, producer of "Addiction" (Finland); Ruxandra Zenide, director of "RYNA" (Switzerland); Christian Alvart, director of "Antibodies" (Germany); Gijs van de Westelaken, producer of "06/05 The Sixth of May"; and finally, European Film Promotion president Claudia Landsberger.
