L’Europe autour de l’Europe - European film Festival Paris will run from the 23rd of March to the 6th of April 2027 in Paris and Île-de-France.
Its selection presents art-house and author films produced or coproduced by at least one country of Greater Europe (members of the Council of Europe) focusing on connections between classic European filmmakers and new talents of contemporary cinema. One of the festival's main objectives is strengthening the creative audiovisual industry network across Europe.
In addition to screenings and Q&A with filmmakers, the Festival presents public masterclasses and panel discussions with prestigious guests from Europe.
L'Europe autour de l'Europe is where the new European film meets the European value-keeping cinema.

    It was great that my film “1000 O” was included in the THEMA short film section of the Film Gallery at the “L'Europe autour de l'Europe” Film Festival.
    A festival with impeccable curation, outstanding organization, and an atmosphere that truly celebrates independent cinema.

    L'Europe autour de l'Europe is truly a wonderful festival experience. The cinemas are fantastic, the audience is curious and engaged and everything is organized in a way that feels both professional and genuinely welcoming. What makes this festival really special, though, is the core team. Irena, Ivanka, and Clara create such a warm, generous and joyful atmosphere. One of the best festival experiences I’ve had. Merci beaucoup! Love the Wolf!

    Thank you for the official selection of our film THE PROFESSIONAL PARENT. The atmosphere at the festival was wonderful and offered many great networking opportunities. The film is currently For Your Consideration in category Best Live Action Short Film, and I believe that participating in this festival has also helped increase its visibility. I’m grateful that my film could be part of your festival. Wishing you all the best!
