The Festival will demonstrate the latest trends of the European filmmaking. The selected films will suit all the tastes. There are dramas, comedies, history films, documentary films and others.
“I am delighted that this year we are able to return the annual European Film Festival to the big screen. This is one of the long-established and popular initiatives of the EU and EU Member States under “Team Europe” umbrella in Azerbaijan. We would like to give the Azerbaijani audience an opportunity to learn more about the newest films, European culture and values, indulge in discussions and build connections”, said Peter Michalko, EU Ambassador to Azerbaijan.
The films will be available in the original language mainly with the English but also Azerbaijani and Turkish subtitles. The films will be demonstrated in Landmark CineClub (90 Nizami St) and CinemaPlus in Deniz Mall.
Keeping to the tradition of the European Film Festivals, entrance to all the films will be free, on “the first come first served” basis.
The European Film Festivals are organized on an annual basis with the aim to build and develop the cultural links existing between the European Union countries and Azerbaijan and to contribute to better understanding of the European values through the European movie industry. Since 2010, within the framework of the European Film Festivals, 158 films have been demonstrated in Azerbaijan.

Cinema has always been a mirror reflecting life’s complexities, and occasionally, it serves as a silent witness revealing profound truths. On December 25, the Nizami Cinema Center in Baku hosted a remarkable celebration of storytelling and creativity. Organized by the Azerbaijan Film Union, the event marked the conclusion of the “Dreams of Color in Black and White Letters” project, showcasing the short feature film Məhkəmə (The Trial), directed by Rovshan Isakh. More than a film premiere, the evening celebrated a collaborative journey of learning and artistic achievement.

The glamour of the silver screen often conceals the unspoken struggles of actresses, especially as they age. Behind the bright lights and applause lies a reality marked by stereotypes, societal pressures, and diminishing opportunities. For many actresses, the passage of time not only challenges their personal identities but also threatens their professional survival in an industry fixated on youth and conventional standards of beauty.

In the bustling streets of Baku, where fashion is as dynamic as the city's skyline, a quiet revolution is taking place. Despite Azerbaijan's strides in waste management, the issue of clothing and textile waste persists, casting a long shadow over environmental progress.

Despite its rich historical past in Azerbaijan, donation culture faces numerous problems in modern times. Issues such as transparency in reaching the target audience, declining public trust, and the absence of sustainable support mechanisms are major challenges in this field. Additionally, the weak promotion of donation culture prevents its broader acceptance and development within society. Both education and modern solutions are crucial to enhance the social impact of donations.
