Pioneering

No one can be surprised that many good films are coming from Central and Eastern Europe, both as a source of production and as a subject for films by foreigners. Through this month and into early early June, the Pioneer very proudly hosts a wide range of films from and about the very diverse region that stretches from the Baltics to the Balkans, and from the Rhine to the Urals.

Other than some very loose historical and geographic similarities, the films have little in common. We're just taking the moment to celebrate some films from and about the region. We look forward to welcoming filmmakers and other friends from across the region, as well as people just looking for some strong movies.

The program opens tonight, with HOW I KILLED A SAINT, which stands tall alongside any film showing anywhere in Manhattan this week, period.
