The Nordic-Baltic embassies are all set to host the first ever youth film festival of the European nations in Delhi showcasing movies from the region.
The November 13-18 festival in collaboration with the India Habitat Centre will be held from 6.30 p.m. every evening.
The Nordic-Baltic countries -- Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden, or NB8 -- are tied together geographically and historically through trade, culture and many common yet diverse value systems, according to a joint statement from their embassies in Delhi.
The statement said the embassies through this film festival were carrying "the bond further and reaching out to the culturally rich Delhi audiences".
