MOSCOW -- The 13th edition of the Cottbus Film Festival, the world's leading festival of Eastern European film, will concentrate on young, emerging filmmakers. Organizers on Monday announced this year's lineup of competition films, professional events and sidebars. The festival, which is set for Nov. 4-8 and takes place in the town to the southeast of Berlin near the Polish border, will screen 10 competition feature films from across the region, with its annual allied professional event -- Connecting Cottbus -- running in conjunction. Cottbus opens with an early Soviet silent movie rarely, if ever, seen in the West: Lev Kuleschov's 1924 The Extraordinary Adventures of Mr. West in the Land of Bolsheviks, for which a new score has been written that will be performed live for the first time by the German Film Orchestra Babelsberg.
