AIFF 2020: Films In Many Languages - From Norwegian To Korean To Spanish And Many More [UPDATED]

[UPDATE is between Germany and Ireland;  Also gave Turkey its own space, not tacked on to Germany, added Zimbabwe.  And Serbia and Solomon Islands]

 The film festival is an opportunity for people who seldom get to see films in local theaters in their native tongue, or one they've in languages they've learned and would like to hear more of.  And the film festival usually offers many opportunities.  

But this year there will be no theater watching.  But, there are lots of films from other countries.  You can put the name of the country into the search option on the film festival page and see what is playing from that country.  

Meanwhile, here's the list of countries I found.  I may have missed some, so if the country you want isn't on my list you can check the festival website.  

You can get more information about the films on the Festival site too.  I don't have to put in dates and times, because in the virtual festival you can watch when you want between Dec. 4 and Dec. 13.  

And if you only speak English, this is a chance to travel to other cultures for a few minutes to a couple of hours.
