THE FINEST FILMS FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION

EUFF draws the best films from the European Union to Toronto, engaging 27 Consulates and Cultural Institutes in collaboration. Driven by excellence since it was founded in 2004, the festival has thrived by showcasing hidden gem and award-winning films for 19 years now, to the great delight of Canadian audiences.

When COVID 19 hit the world in 2019, Toronto’s EUFF, the Canadian Film Institute in Ottawa and The Cinematheque in Vancouver joined forces along with EU Delegations from the three cities to present a virtual festival.. As this festival  successfully grows, EUFF will continue to offer highly curated content to all Canadians while remaining committed to bringing the Toronto film community together. The year 2023 marks the 19th EUFF and the second hybrid edition at Toronto’s Spadina Theatre, featuring an incredible lineup of 28 films carefully selected by the countries themselves. These films showcase the most outstanding cinema from the Union, with the inclusion of one film as a fundraiser in solidarity with the people of Ukraine, a tradition that began last year.

In-person or online, our goals have remained the same:

  • Reflect the excellence and innovation of European independent cinema
  • Give award-winning films their Canadian premieres
  • Give voice to relevant European filmmakers in Canada
  • Foster collaboration and engage in cultural dialogues between Canadian and EU communities
  • Promote diversity

As a not-for-profit organization, EUFF relies on the dedication of its partners, including the country representatives, private sponsors and donors, media supporters and the many volunteers who invest their time, money and energy to make it happen every year in November.

Participating EU countries include: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.
