INTRODUCTION
‘The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life.’ — Jean-Luc Godard
Reflecting lives that could be ours—or once were—the 21 films of the 2025 European Film Festival (EUFF) in Vietnam invite us to remember and dream together in the darkness of the cinema, offering an irreplaceable experience. As the screen lights up, it is often the briefest encounters and the smallest gestures that illuminate the vastness and strangeness of the human experience.
Featuring one of the strongest EUFF line-ups in Vietnam to date, the program showcases acclaimed recent arthouse gems, thought-provoking narratives, and cinematic adventures for audiences of all ages. For the first time, EUFF Vietnam has partnered with the LUX Audience Award (an initiative of the European Parliament and the European Film Academy) and the 2026 European Award Season, highlighting the brilliance of the contemporary European cinema industry—and the creative economy at large—as well as the rise of regional and international co-productions.
EUFF Vietnam 2025 is organized by the EU Delegation to Vietnam, in collaboration with embassies and cultural institutions representing EU Member States.
