The EUFA project is a unique opportunity for the students to play an active role in European film culture. Discussing the films and selecting a winner will both give the students' analytical/critical activity a concrete purpose and make them reflect on concepts such as European cinema and European identity. On top of that, the discussions will also give them an insight into the work of a festival jury. /srb
