Temperatures soared, the city of Luxembourg looked
magnificent. The lovely old building which served as a cinema
had no air-conditioning so every day was a free Sauna. The films
were pretty hot too with fine work from all over the world
competing for the valued UNICA medals. And the people ... some
were pretty cool!
A mountain of work went into this UNICA including the excellent longer promotional film (below) - whose main character returned with a different short introduction each day and with the announcements of each national programme. One of the biggest cheers of the week was when 11 year old Elena appeared in costume on stage at the opening ceremony. She removed her shiny black shoes ... explaining that she was a year older now and they were too small to be comfortable! |

SocialisingDuring a week-long festival everyone needs a break, so UNICA 2011 offered a day out seeing interesting parts of the new city, cruising on the River Mosel and finally visiting a restaurant where fine Mosel wines were offered to drink and to buy for taking home. |
