Filmmaker RH Greene -- who wrote a memoir for Dracula in Roumania -- is one of the programmers of the LA Film Festival, which runs June 17-27 at an array of venues. His focus: the films of Eastern Europe, which align with his sometimes misty memories of the region, from villagers with baskets of vegetables to a cynical, weeping Russian actress.
