Fests and events, 1/19. European edition.

44 world, 23 international and 30 European feature premieres. The lineup for the International Film Festival Rotterdam (January 24 through February 4) is now complete.

"Known as the fullest and most well-rounded Italian festival of solely Eastern and Central European cinema," writes Camillo de Marco at Cineuropa, "the 18th edition of the Trieste Film Festival [through January 25] is this year dedicating particular attention to films from two new European Union member states: Bulgaria and Romania."

The program for the Perspektive Deutsches Kino section of the Berlinale (February 8 through 18) is also complete. Docs comprise a third of the lineup; films made by women, two thirds.
