WELCOME TO

Bringing young Europeans together through film

WHO IS IT FOR?

Explore European cinema with your peers

The European Film Club gives you the opportunity to watch and discuss films online or in person, with other members of a film club.

 

We are building a community of young film lovers, to explore and discuss a diverse range of European films.
