European Union Film Festival 2025 Synopsis

Europe without the jet lag!

The European Union Film Festival, our annual trek across the landscapes of Europe’s latest cinema, returns this autumn for a 28th edition in Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver. This year’s festival features in-theatre offerings from all 27 EU members. A selection of films will also be available to rent online at euf?fon?line?.ca following the conclusion of our in-person festival.

As with the previous three editions, EUFF 2025 will feature a solidarity screening to benefit Ukraine, organized in partnership with the Embassy of Ukraine to Canada. Proceeds from this year’s film, the Oscar-nominated Porcelain War, will support the Canada-Ukraine Foundation.

EUFF wayfarers can expect an eclectic range of national (sometimes international) productions—everything from domestic blockbusters to arthouse darlings—with a majority of films receiving their Canadian debuts. Twenty-eight years strong in Vancouver (and a milestone 50 in Ottawa!), the festival remains the premier survey of contemporary European cinema in our country.
