2010 European Union Film Festival, Toronto - programming announced

The European Union Film Festival takes place in Toronto annually in late November. This year, the festival runs from November18-30. It's different than the other film festivals because it doesn't have programmers. It is instead sponsored by the member states of the European Union, and each country is submits their own selection for screening. The screenings are free to the public, but they do accept donations.

All screenings take place at the Royal Theatre, 608 College St. West (5 short blocks west of Bathurst). Tickets are distributed on a first come, first serve basis one hour before the screening time. Audience members may leave their ticket stubs with the volunteer ticket collectors after the screening to give the film they just saw their vote for the Audience Award. Arrive early -- many screenings sell out, especially well-reviewed films or those with large ethnic communities in Toronto.
