European Union Film Festival

The European Film Festival (EUFF) Toronto will present 28 outstanding films from 28 countries. Taking audiences on a cinematic journey across Europe, this year’s selection features multiple award-winning films, literary adaptations, directorial debuts and the largest representation of female filmmakers to date.

The collection of 2025 Toronto film premieres represents the full spectrum of Europe’s rich social, cultural, and historical diversity through a variety of film styles and genres. Whether revisiting historical turmoil or sharing universal stories of growing older and embracing change, the films amplify both unmistakable parallels and nuances between countries and continents.

Opening and Closing films:

• The Land of Short Sentences from Denmark follows a Copenhagen woman’s life is turned upside-down when she follows her boyfriend to the rural town of Velling, where she initially struggles to fit in but eventually finds a new sense of belonging.
• In The Breach from Poland, a grieving husband investigates his wife’s mysterious car crash, deemed as a suicide, but as he delves into her secrets, his search for the truth turns into a web of mystery and self-doubt.

This year’s European Union Film Festival showcases some of the most acclaimed and talked-about works in contemporary European cinema. Among the highlights is Porcelain War (Ukraine/USA/Australia), winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Documentary at Sundance and a 2025 Academy Award nominee; Three Kilometres to the End of the World (Romania), recipient of the Queer Palme at Cannes; Audiences will also discover Memory Lane (Netherlands), the Dutch submission for the Academy Award for International Feature, a tender portrait of enduring love. Rounding out the must-see lineup are Drowning Dry (Lithuania), winner of multiple prizes at Locarno, and Savanna and the Mountain (Portugal), a Cannes Directors’ Fortnight selection without missing Finland’s scenic The Summer Book featuring legendary actress Glenn Close and Hungary’s award-winning I Accidentally Wrote A Book . Together, these films embody the depth, diversity, and daring spirit of Europe’s finest storytellers.
