The European premiere of "Sweetland," a Canadian movie directed by Christian Sparkes, will kick off the 34th International Film Festival Emden-Norderney on Wednesday at 9 p.m. This film tells the story of a person who refuses to let go of their home in a remote Newfoundland fishing village on the brink of being dissolved. Events at this year's festival, which primarily showcases German and Nordwest European cinema, will also highlight Canadian films, a first for the series.
Nearly 51 full-length and 34 short films are featured in the event held in the seaport city and on the North Sea island. 18 of these films will be vying for the Bernhard Wicki Score Prize, valued at 15,000 euros.
