The 2025 edition of the European Film Festival brings together ten works in competition from across Europe, selected by Alberto La Monica and Luigi La Monica. Each with a distinct voice, these films investigate the fractures within love, family, and personal identity.

From France, Austria, Germany, and England to Iceland—passing through Spain, Portugal, Belgium, and the Balkans—a mosaic of stories emerges in which intimacy becomes a terrain of conflict, but also of rebirth.
