Once again, “The Charming Taste of Europe” campaign proudly supports the European Union Film Festival (EUFF) in Canada!
The 2024 EUFF invites you to immerse yourself in the world of European cinema. Discover a diverse range of films and engage directly with renowned filmmakers who will be present to share their visions. This year is no exception, showcasing both brilliant emerging talents as well as the latest work of master filmmakers. There is drama, comedy, action, and documentary: something for everyone! Several guest filmmakers from the European Union travelling to Canada to present and discuss their films add up to a complete cinematic experience!
In partnership with the Canadian Film Institute in Ottawa, the European Union Film Festival in Toronto, EU member states, and the EU Delegation to Canada, this year’s EUFF will feature in-theatre screenings at Toronto’s Spadina Theatre, showcasing films from all 27 EU countries. Celebrating its 20th anniversary and third year in a hybrid format, the 2024 EUFF also includes a special screening dedicated to supporting Ukraine, a meaningful tradition established last year.
Whether viewed in-person or online, the EUFF remains committed to:
• Showcasing the excellence and creativity of European independent cinema
• Debuting award-winning films in Canada
• Giving voice to notable European filmmakers within the Canadian landscape
• Promoting cultural exchange and collaboration between EU and Canadian communities
• Embracing diversity in film
In addition to the highly interesting festival program, “The Charming Taste of Europe” will be hosting a wine-tasting event at Spadina Theatre on November 20th (7:30 pm- 8:15 pm), just before the screening of the Italian film “A Hundred Sundays”.
