The EUFF aims to provide the audience with the opportunity to enjoy the European films, all of which will be screened in their original languages and subtitled in both Arabic and English. All screenings are free of charge for the public.
EU Ambassador to Jordan Maria Hadjitheodosiou said that “each year, the festival brings Jordanians and Europeans together and opens up a space for intercultural cooperation, diversity, exchange and dialogue. Since 2022 is the European Year of Youth, this year’s festival will be dedicated to the generation of young men and women that has suffered the most during the pandemic, as we take this opportunity to shine a light on the important role youth can play in building a better, greener, more inclusive and digital future, with plenty of opportunities to learn and interact with each other”.
The festival launched a “Mobile Film Competition” this year in cooperation with SAE Institute Jordan, a leading media arts institute.
