EFA to analyze cultural humor

Ahead of the awards ceremony on Dec. 6, EFA aims to host a series of seminars under the banner "What Makes Europe Laugh." Names signed up to take part include Denmark's Anders Thomas Jensen ("In China They Eat Dogs"), Sweden's Reza Bagher ("Popular Music From Vittula") and Santiago Segura Silva ("Torrente, The Stupid Arm of The Law") from Spain, all of whom became household names in their respective countries for their efforts in the comedy genre.
