SUMMARY:Eurochannel's 8th Short Films Program 1 - 7pm
DESCRIPTION:The Alliance Francaise of NW CT is once again co-sponsoring with the Southbury Film Commission Eurochannel’s eighth edition Short Films Tour called “Happiness for the World to See” featuring this year’s theme: Happiness. \nViewers will be introduced to cinematic adventures from the most charming countries such as France\, the United Kingdom and Italy. Plenty of places to go\, plenty of stories to enjoy… We propose only one question: how happy are you? \nHappiness for the world to see \n“Happiness depends upon ourselves\,” said Aristotle. But while philosophers and religious thinkers often define happiness in terms of living a good life\, or flourishing\, rather than simply as an emotion\, scientists have a more pragmatic approach with measurable indicators.\nScientists argue that experiencing positive events\, feeling loved and loving\, accepting others and being accepted\, and keeping good habits lead to finding happiness. Although it is true that an exact and complete definition of “happiness” is impossible\, we can agree that it resides in a sense of well-being rather than wealth or power. But what makes some people happy might not make. \nThe Eurochannel Short Films Tour has been a successful Eurochannel trademark for the last seven years. A unique event\, the tour invites viewers to follow talented directors on an exciting exploration of Europe through short films: with the directors as guides\, viewers discover fascinating cultures through the eyes of a filmmaker. Almost every European country and region is represented in this edition of the Eurochannel Short Films Tour – each of whose film is broadcast in its original language and subtitled in English – which is an example of the program’s creativity and dynamism. Brief discussions will be held between films to give time to the audience to give their reaction and ask questions. \nToday’s six shorts will be from Program 1: “Stuck in Love” and represent the countries listed below: \nPROGRAM 1: “STUCK IN LOVE”\n \nBastille Day (14 Juillet\, 2015)    France (Paris) Drama\, Romance 7 min. \nBravoman (Bravoman\, 2016)       Russia (Saint Petersburg) Comedy 18 min \nThe Jacket (Die Jacke\, 2014)      Austria Drama 9 min \nThe Love That Could Not Be Hidden (El amor que no podía ocultarse\, 2014)    Spain Comedy\, Musical 10 min \nParallel (Parallèle\, 2012)  France (Paris)   Drama 3 min \nAlmost Perfect (Gandrīz Ideāli\, 2014)   Latvia Drama\, Romance 14 min \nALL PROGRAMS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC WITH A SUGGESTED DONATION OF $5. Please RSVP by calling 203-707-0710 with your name and the number of people attending as seating is limited. \nThe Southbury Film Commission is a sub-commission of the Southbury Economic Development Commission and has as its mission to market the town of Southbury as a filming destination by promoting local professionals and support. The Southbury Film Commission welcomes volunteers\, either as members or just helping with particular tasks.
