EUROPA! EUROPA FILM FESTIVAL
After a successful debut, Europa! Europa returns to Australia for its second year from Thursday 16 February to Tuesday 7 March 2023. An exciting line-up of 29 films from 24 different countries, including international festival favourites and star-studded blockbusters.
The festival will take place in Sydney and Melbourne, and audiences will be able to experience the most cutting-edge, boundary-pushing, and critically acclaimed European cinema of the moment. Be transported on a journey of discovery and inspiration as the festival unveils the best of what European cinema has to offer.
"Europa! Europa is a celebration of the diversity and richness of European cinema,” said Artistic Director Thomas Caldwell. “Whether you prefer relationship dramas, police thrillers, feel-good sports films, period biopics, disaster films, or comedies, we have a film for you. Our program offers a wide range of genres and styles, catering to a diversity of tastes.”
“One of the highlights of this year's festival is the Australian premiere of the new 4K restorations of Krzysztof Kieślowski's masterful Three Colours Trilogy,” added Caldwell. “These films perfectly embody the spirit of European cinema and exemplify our guiding programming principles: showcasing films that are multinational, arthouse alternatives to mainstream Hollywood cinema, and bold in their storytelling.”
