Screen Memories from Eastern Europe

     Frequently Asked Questions  

(1) Is epff5 only open to psychoanalysts and film experts, or can anyone attend?

epff5 is open to all those interested in film and psychoanalysis whatever their background.

(2) Can I attend only one or two events, or do I have to subscribe to the whole festival?

We can put on a 'waiting list' the names of those who only want to attend parts of epff5, at the reduced price of £xx per half day. However, we cannot guarantee that such places will be available and we shall only know a few days before the Festival whether they are or not.

(3) I noticed various events take place simultaneously. Can I choose which ones to attend?

When booking for epff5 is open, you will be sent a form to indicate your preferences, and we will do our best to accommodate them.
When you receive your epff5 wallet there will be tickets colour-coded (Red and Blue) which will correspond to the different events taking place at the same time. It is possible in some cases that you may not get your first-choice of events. You may however find that someone will be happy to swap tickets with you.

(4) This is a European festival, but I can only speak English. How can I understand films or presentations in other languages?

The conference language is English, so no need to worry.

(5) Are all the films listed in your brochure/website going to be screened at epff5?

The films to be screened in their entirety will be noted in the programme, which will, when finalised, be published in our brochure. The provisional programme will, when it is ready, be featured on this website. Other films will be shown in part, and/or clips of them will be used to illustrate discussion points. You may get the chance to see some of them before attending epff5.

(6) If I find myself in the position of having already paid my registration fee, but am then unfortunately unable to attend, can I get a refund?

The published cut-off date is September 1st 2009. Before this - if you cancel - you will receive a refund of 50% of your payment. No monies can be refunded if we are informed after that date.
