Bulgaria (2008) Dir: Boris Despodov.
Take one fragmentary road, three suspicious national neighbors and one mischievous filmmaker and you have the ingredients for an absurdly funny and engaging look at the new "unified" Europe. In 1997, the EU commissioned Corridor #8, an ambitious rail and road system intended to join Bulgaria, Macedonia and Albania but 10 years and millions of euros later, progress is scarcely visible -- on the project and on relieving the deep suspicions that persist among these nations and their people.

In Albanian, Bulgarian, English, and Macedonian with English subtitles. Not Rated. 74 minutes.

Funding provided in part by the Philosophy Department.

Presenters will provide an introduction and facilitate post-screening discussion for each film.

Sarratt Cinema is located on the first floor of the Sarratt Student Center at Vanderbilt University.
