Film enthusiasts in Bulawayo have had an eventful week with the European Union Film Festival 2019 giving them something to feast on. The ongoing film festival which kicked off on Tuesday wraps up Saturday at the Ster Kinekor Bulawayo Centre.

This year’s EU Film Festival has offered a fresh cinematic experience with the carefully selected, multi-faceted programme presenting art on a big screen canvas. While the many movies being shown are internationally-acclaimed and awarded, the focus moves away from mainstream narratives to a more and visually unique storytelling.
