European Film Festival 2024

A month-long festival, a new venue in the heart of Singapore and new partnerships mark the 33rd edition of the European Film Festival (EUFF).

Presented by the European Union (EU) Delegation to Singapore, EUFF shines the spotlight on European cinema by bringing films to Singapore reflecting Europe’s creativity, inclusivity, and diversity. The EUFF runs at The Projector (Cineleisure) from 23rd April to 25thMay 2024.  With its new screening location, the festival moves to the heart of Singapore, making it more accessible to the general public. This year’s festival presents 24 films from 24 countries over a longer festival period, reflecting on the variety of perspectives, histories, languages and cultures from across Europe.

EUFF 2024 Opening Film: The Featured Country this year is Belgium and opens the festival with its film Here on 23rd April. Directed by critically acclaimed filmmaker Bas Devos, this is a moving tale of fleeting encounters aided by hot soup and humble plant life. In suburban Brussels, Stefan, an unassuming Romanian construction worker prepares to leave for home. He clears out his fridge and cooks a pot of soulful borscht, passing it on to fellow kindred spirits, sowing love one bowl at a time. A chance encounter with bryologist Shuxiu blossoms into a friendship as she opens his eyes to the once-invisible growth of mosses that thrive in the city’s crevices.

Festival Films: EUFF offers a range of movie genres including drama, historical drama, documentary, musical, comedy and family-friendly films from the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and Ukraine. Films screened are recent, and have had success in their country of origin and often internationally.
