Creative Europe MEDIA – the EU’s programme supporting the European audiovisual sector – is organising the second edition of a unique outreach event with the objective of bringing Europe closer to citizens while celebrating together the richness of European film culture. The event, entitled ‘European Cinema Night – Sharing stories we love’ will take place from 2 to 6 December 2019 in 54 cities across Europe and will reach more than 14.500 people.

Around free screenings of European films supported by MEDIA, the European Cinema Night aims to show how the European Union – through Creative Europe MEDIA – not only benefits the creative and cultural industries, but also serves our society at large. This initiative will connect cinemagoers in numerous cities across Europe and will help to strengthen the links among people around a shared European identity based on diversity.

Join us at:
– Kinodvor. City Cinema: The Swallows of Kabul (4th Deccember, 19:00)
– Ptuj City Cinema: Stan & Ollie (4th Deccember, 19:00)

After the screening, there will be a short debate where film lovers. The debate will be followed by a cocktail.

This event is part of the European Commission “going local” communication campaign, which shows citizens how European policy is linked to their lives – in this case to the emotions they feel at cinemas – and how by attending a locally-grounded event they can be part of a globally-connected experience across Europe.
