European Union Film Festival 2026

The European Union Film Festival 2026 invites the audience to look beyond what appears on screen. Cinema is more than something we watch; it is an experience we absorb through emotion, sound, and perspective, gradually opening our world wider than before.

This year, the European Union Film Festival 2026 presents 21 European films from 19 countries, selected by 19 EU Member States Embassies and the EU Delegation to Thailand. Together, these films offer a journey through Europe’s diverse cultures, societies, ways of life, and contemporary perspectives, using the language of cinema to connect with audiences beyond borders.

Under the theme “See Beyond. Feel Beyond.”, each film invites viewers not only to see the stories unfolding on screen, but to look deeper into what lies beneath, exploring people, relationships, social change, and emotions that remain long after the final frame fades.

The festival will take place from 18–28 June 2026 across multiple venues in Bangkok and other cities, including:

• Bangkok: The Siam Society, House Samyan, Lido Connect
• Chiangmai: Alliance Française, Chiangmai
• Phuket: BCIS Phuket, Satree Phuket School

All screenings are free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis, with no advance booking. Audiences can collect tickets up to 2 tickets per person at each venue one hour before each showtime.

Participating countries this year include: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, and the EU Delegation to Thailand.

Cinema not only changes what we see, but it also changes the way we see the world.

Step beyond the screen and experience cinema that moves you at the European Union Film Festival 2026.
