Event Description : 18th European Union Film Festival - celebrating women.

Women of wisdom, of beauty, of power, of a myriad natures – how destitute would be a world without them! From Lakshmi and Saraswati, Aphrodite and Athena, Venus and Minerva, gods and men have praised the female of the species in declarations of love, in prayer, in song and in theatre. The 18th edition of the European Union Film Festival (EUFF) comes to India with the topical theme "Celebrating women".
This time it will be hosted in eleven cities – starting on the 8th March in Coimbatore and touring for the next four months, till the end of July, in Bangalore, Chennai, Goa, Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Chandigarh and Jodhpur.
The visitor will have the opportunity to watch a selection of 24 films that have not been screened in India yet. The films will all be screened in national languages, with subtitles in English. Among them there will be languages like Bulgarian, Finnish or Lithuanian – languages that maybe many Indians will hear for the first time and which will, more clearly than anything else, portray Europe's diversity. 
Women's stories often remain untold, overshadowed by other happenings and matters. But today women are raising their voices with increasing persistence, demanding to be seen and heard. This festival would like to join the chorus of voices and through the perspective of the heroines' individual stories share the very different lives of women. The films showcase different aspects, nuances and sometimes even the hardships of being a woman. Some of them are comedies, some are dramas, and some are unclassifiable just as life itself is. But in the end they narrate engaging stories that reach out to men and women alike, to young adults as 
well as to elders.
