Kicking off on November 7 in New Delhi, the festival will run through November 16 at iconic venues including India Habitat Centre, Instituto Cervantes, and Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan. EUFF 2024 promises to immerse audiences in European society and culture through thought-provoking films, several of which will have their India premieres.
