The Village East Cinema is hosting a Macedonian Film Festival this weekend in association with the International Film Circuit.  The festival, running through Sunday night, ends with the film Before the Rain, which the New York Times called “one of the best 1,000 films ever made.”  On top of being able to see some pretty good foreign cinema, there’s even better news: it’s free.  Show up at the theater and mention the International Film Circuit’s founder, Wendy Lidell, and you’re golden.  So, before heading to a token hipster bar in the LES (I recommend Gallery or the Library), be even more trendy and watch these Macedonian flics.

For all additional info, check out the festival’s website.
