The Canadian Film Institute team is excited to again present a fully in-person EUFF in the Alma Duncan Salon at the Ottawa Art Gallery. For the 39th edition, we are presenting one film from each of the 27 European Union member states, and, to show solidarity with the unfortunately still embattled people of Ukraine, we are presenting a powerful and critically acclaimed feature documentary from Ukraine at a special benefit screening on the final day of the Festival.
Again this year we are pleased to offer a selection of online screenings of films from EUFF 2024, which will be available online across Canada. While not every film will be online, a total of 19 films in the Festival line-up will be, giving anyone anywhere in Canada the chance to see the best of contemporary filmmaking in the European Union. If you see a film you like during the Festival in person, you may be able to watch it again online and, better still, you can tell your friends about it – wherever they live – and they’ll be able to watch it, too. The cross-Canada online EUFF will take from December 1 to 15, with all 19 films available for that entire period.
The 2024 EUFF boasts a strong line-up of diverse, entertaining, inventive, and provocative films. As we’ve done in the previous 38 editions, we are showcasing contemporary emerging filmmakers as well as the recent works by more established directors. We are thrilled that we will have several guest filmmakers joining us in Ottawa to present and discuss their work. This year’s EUFF features plenty of comedies, historical dramas, love stories, dramas, documentaries, and even an animated feature for the entire family.
In our still dark and tempestuous times, attending a film festival is an important, immediate way to stay connected, experience a range of perspectives, and deepen our understanding of the complexity of and challenges faced by our extraordinary, wondrous, but troubled planet.
We thank our partners in this important annual cultural event: the European Union Delegation to Canada and the participating EU Member States. We also thank supporters like you who have made this Festival possible for almost four decades!
On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff and volunteers of the Canadian Film Institute, I wish you an entertaining, thought-provoking, and enriching journey through the impressive cinematic landscapes of the European Union.
Vive le cinéma!
Tom McSorley
Executive Director
