About Festival

European Environmental and Arts Festival was created to support culture along the East Coast of Scotland.

EEAF is a new festival. The festival takes place in Angus County, Dundee City and Perth in summer from 5 ^th June to 5 ^th July 2008. It is the International Festival of Documentary Films on Human Rights, Animal Rights and Environmental issues which shall attract interest of audience.

The festival will be held under the auspices of Czech Ambassador in the United Kingdom, Mr Jan Winkler

The aim is to encourage thinking about alternative life styles, the ability to observe human rights, environmental protection, to improve knowledge about national and international world history and politics. What’s going on? To educate people about the division between the “rich world" and the "poor world“.

European Environmental and Arts Festival screens films about enviromental problems, where the environment is the first objective, which MUST be preserved for future generations, for the happiness,health,emotional and physical well-being of everyone.

The festival was feature 19 documentaries from 10 countries all around the world: USA, Poland, France, Denmark, China, UK, Croatia, Slovakia, India and Czech.

Thematic sections of the documentary films are: 1) Human Rights, 2) Environmental Matters, 3) Animal Rights, and 4) Student independent films

The festival can speak to many young people, because most of the visitors are young people from post-communists countries (Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Russia etc.) The festival should inform about International Višegrad‘s Fond and through this, help connect these states. People, who will meet here, can help to improve the project Visegradska 4 and deepen the political subconscious of Central Europe.

The teaching about environmental protection will be done through the use of very good educational materials. We would like the festival to create a place where people can meet, talk together and work towards a better future for Mother Earth.

Scotland is already a country of many cultures and nationalities, therefore the festival can be a place where many people of all ages can meet, exchange contacts and experiences on an international level, and hopefully co-operate on the development of an international society.

Indeed, addressing these issues to younger people right here in a foreign country can have an even more profound impact on their human psyche. New ideas may emerge with regard to the question of a political system and its contribution to countless questions and issues in politics; the younger people themselves may discover their inner need to reorganise human society.

The European Environmental and Arts Festival would like to encourage the public into feeling the world’s rising problems, which are around us.
