The EU is bringing back the European Film Festival to Russia this November despite Russia's war against Ukraine. The festival, which did not run in 2022 due to the conflict, will showcase 21 films from EU countries -- including Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Czech Republic, and Luxembourg. It will be held online from November 1 to November 15, mostly free of charge, according to the EU delegation in Russia. Even in the difficult context of the Russian war against Ukraine, the European Union wants to show that relations between Europeans and Russians can continue, EU Ambassador to Russia Roland Galharague said in Moscow.
