European cinema will be in focus when the Copenhagen International Film Festival kicks off for the third year Thursday, organizers said. More than 100 films and documentaries will be screened during the 11-day festival, 10 of which will compete for the Golden Swan award which will be awarded on Aug. 27 in six different categories. Most festival movies will be from Europe, although the lineup also includes offerings from the Middle East and Asia. Jacob Neiiendam, the festival's chief of programming, said European filmmakers are normally not given much room on the Danish market, where Danish and American movies dominate. A.P. reports.
