EuroAsia Shorts proudly presents an annual week of short films from Europe, Asia, and the United States screened at embassies and cultural centers throughout Washington D.C.
The theme for EAS 2014 is Travel and Journeys. From day to day, youth to adulthood, or home to abroad, we are all constantly on our own journeys. Sometimes they are planned, other times we are swept along by a beautiful, powerful, or terrible current. Wherever our travels in life take us, we are inevitably transformed in the process.
EAS 2014 closing night will be hosted at the Embassy of Italy on Friday, June 6, 2014 at 6:30PM. A short from each country will be presented and discussed. An international appetizer reception will follow.
