THE European Union Film Festival (EUFF) returns to Windhoek from 3 September to 29 October 2025, showcasing nine European films and two Namibian productions. Screenings will take place every Wednesday night at Ster Kinekor, Maerua Mall, with this year’s programme held under the theme “Opportunities for Youth.”
The festival opens with Miss Viborg, a Danish comedy-drama, and will for the first time include a special children’s screening on 4 October. Local productions will close the festival, followed by a panel discussion highlighting Namibian voices in film.
In addition to screenings, the EU will host its popular Cell-Phone Video Workshop in Windhoek, empowering young filmmakers to create content with minimal resources.
EU Deputy Head of Mission Ian Dupont said the festival is about more than film, but about “stories that connect us, bridge cultures, and remind us of our shared humanity.”
The EUFF is supported by EU Member States, the Namibia Film Commission, the Namibian Filmmakers Association, and Jam Events. Last year, the festival drew more than 2,000 guests, with organisers hoping to reach even larger audiences this year.
