The Eurasian Film Festival is an organization devoted to promoting great cultural interaction between the United States and Eurasian countries, and the program highlights a selection of films that strongly reflect, revive, newly interpret, or celebrate important cultural heritages. The festival emphasizes the stunning artistic achievements taking place at the crossroads of Eurasia, where the culture and art of Eastern Europe, Asia, Central Asia, Turkey, Poland and the Balkan Republics, are informing and cross-fertilizing one another. The Film Festival program includes films that are screened in the U.S. for the very first time, and many award-winning films worldwide.
The second New York Eurasian Film Festival brings to New York more than 25 films from many countries, including Russia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Greece, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Japan, Poland, Spain and many others.
