We're starting the new year as auspiciously as we ended the last: With an "EUFF Encore" screening of our 2018 festival winner WELCOME TO GERMANY on January 26. Thank you, merci, danke schön to ...
... the 7500 Torontonians who came out (and in from the cold), saw over two dozen films and voted for their favourites -- aka "the best film audience in the world."
... our team:
The EUFF staffers, board, programmers, presenters, and, as a guest of honour, European Union Ambassador to Canada Peteris Ustubs (second from right).
Uwe Rau and Jutta Brendemühl of the Goethe-Institut, with Claude Marchand.
The Goethe-Institut's stellar interns, Stella Noack and Hala Turk.
Our consular partners, Consul General of Germany in Toronto Thomas E. Schultze and his wife Katja Heusel.
Our incredibly loyal and professional and fun EUFF media crew and volunteers .
The award will be handed over to director Simon Verhoeven by the Secretary General of the Goethe-Institut at the Goethe Berlinale Brunch on February 9.
And it's a wrap. See you for our 15th anniversary EUFFTO in November 2019!
