About the Festival

The European Film Festival (EUFF) is the longest-running foreign film festival in Jordan, celebrating its 36th edition this year. The festival will take place from 14 to 30 September 2024 at the Royal Film Commission. A total of 23 films—European and Jordanian—will be screened, all with English and Arabic subtitles.

As part of the EUFF, a Mobile Film Competition is organized in cooperation with SAE Institute Amman to support, empower and encourage young film makers to showcase their talents from all around the Kingdom.

More information on how to participate can be found here.

The European Film Festival is funded by the European Union Delegation to Jordan and organized in partnership with the European Union National Institutes for Culture (EUNIC) Jordan cluster.

All films and relevant activities are free of charge.
