Festival L'Europe autour de l'Europe 2021 returns to theatres

The Festival is back in cinemas!

We are happy to confirm that the 16th edition of the festival will take place in Paris from November 17th to November 30th, finally in the theatres.

This year the festival will present 100 films in 10 sections, a true panorama of European cinema of today, including three competition sections:
- Prix SAUVAGE (9 European feature films unreleased in France);
- Prix PRESENT (9 European documentary films produced in the last 2 years);
- Prix SAUVAGE CORTO (a selection of the daring short meter films coming from all Europe).

FESTIVAL GUESTS

The program also features tributes to the cinema of Peter Handke, Krzysztof Zanussi and Jean-Daniel Pollet, with several films chosen from their artistic legacy.
The theme of this year's edition, Body in movement, is reflected in the section THEMA. As a part of it, a Carte blanche given to the producer Gaëlle Jones includes 13 films that she produced between 2004 and 2021, shown in the presence of the film authors.
A new section Open World, presented with l’ASCPE and EURAFRICLAP, features a fine selection of cinema masterpieces coming from all continents and presenting other views on our world. African cinema will be in focus with the beautiful documentary Le loup d’or de Balolé by Chloé Aïcha Boro, awarded Etalon d’or for the best documentary Fespaco 2019.

In collaboration with Zaleski Foundation, Blick Productions, and Rafael Lewandowski, we will invite you to the screening and the launch of a fundraising campaign for the international distribution of the documentary Herbert, un barbare dans le jardin, dedicated to the great Polish poet Zbigniew Herbert (1924 - 1998).

Among the guests of this year's edition, we are happy to welcome N.C. Heikin, Olivier Hespel, Isabelle Ingold, Milcho Manchevski, Vivianne Perelmuter, Emilio Ruiz, Andrea Štaka, Réka Szabó and Krzysztof Zanussi, Chloé Aïcha Boro.

The opening ceremony will take place on Wednesday, November 17 at the cinema L'Entrepôt presenting Mare, the recent feature film of Andrea Štaka (Switzerland), the president of our Prix SAUVAGE jury. With this production, the director offers us a courageous and sincere portrait of a woman in search of her identity.
