Cultural Foundation, in partnership with the EU delegation in Abu Dhabi, proudly presents the EU Film Festival of Abu Dhabi, an annual showcase of European cinema that brings diverse films from across Europe to UAE audiences. Featuring a wide range of genres, the festival promotes cultural exchange and explores universal themes such as identity, resilience, and social change. Set in Abu Dhabi’s cultural hub, the festival includes screenings, panel discussions, and Q&A sessions with filmmakers.
In 2026, the festival will expand its program to support and spotlight local filmmakers, encouraging collaboration and fostering new creative opportunities between Europe and the UAE.
As part of this expanded offering, the festival will host a three-day professional workshop on international film sales, led by industry expert Nicolas Rebeschini.
This intensive workshop introduces participants to the global film market, covering project positioning, working with sales agents, and navigating international festivals equipping filmmakers with practical tools to take their projects from concept to global audiences.
