After the succes in the past two years, Public Room (Macedonia) organises for the third time a large Dutch film programme that travels through different countries in the Balkans: Highlights of the Lowlands – Touring Dutch Cinema.

The tour starts in Albania (September 14 – 19) and will then stop at various cities: Tirana, Skopje, Prizren, Sarajevo, Belgrade and Zadar. Early 2012 the film programme will also be presented in Istanbul, anticipating the celebration of 400 years of diplomatic relations between Turkey and the Netherlands.
