PACIFIC CINÉMATHÈQUE AND THE EMBASSIES, CONSULATES, AND CULTURAL Institutes of the member states of the European Union are proud to present Vancouver’s 14th European Union Film Festival, our annual finger-on-the-pulse showcase of acclaimed new and recent films from across greater Europe. This year’s festival features entries from 24 of the European Union’s 27 member states. Each country has carte blanche to choose the film that will represent them. Together, their exciting selections make for a lively, provocative, stimulating, and entertaining state-of-the-Union celebration of the diversity, dynamism, and accomplishment of contemporary European filmmaking.
"The European Union Film Festival has become the de facto cultural calling card of the most potent economic force on Earth." GEORGIA STRAIGHT
"Outside of the Vancouver International Film Festival, the EU festival is the only place to see so many recent films from Europe in languages as diverse as Bulgarian, Flemish, Arabic, Slovenian and Hungarian." VANCOUVER SUN
