European Union Short Film Festival is coming to your home...
The popular European Union Short Film Festival is moving online from May 14-21. Now in its seventh year, this free event features a diverse collection of short films from across the EU. The event features 22 films from 22 European Union Member States in three thematic programs: Well, Adjusted, All You Need Is Love, and Time Being Time Passing.
The Festival is a collaborative effort between the Canadian Film Institute, the embassies of EU Member States and the European Union National Institutes for Culture. Previously held at the Arts Court in Ottawa, the event consistently played to a packed house.
“This year’s collection of shorts will allow audiences to travel across Europe from the comfort of their homes” says CFI Executive Director Tom McSorley. “We are excited to offer an even wider audience a chance to see these films and to take a break from the usual online offerings.”
“We would like to thank the Canadian Film Institute, the embassies of EU Member States and the European Union National Institutes for Culture for their remarkable ability to turn what initially was going to be an in-theatre festival into a virtual one – literally in the space of just a few short weeks,” said Brice de Schietere, European Union Chargé d’affaires in Canada.
The 7th EUSFF is presented in partnership with The Cinematheque in Vancouver and the Cinematheque of the Winnipeg Film Group.
EUSFF be presented May 14-21. Complimentary tickets are available on the Canadian Film Institute website
