European Cinema in Ottawa
The European Union Film Festival, presented by the Canadian Film Institute, showcases contemporary films from across the European Union. The institute's current festival announcement confirms November 13–28, 2026.
The Ottawa venue calendar names the Alma Duncan Salon at Ottawa Art Gallery. The gallery has entrances at 50 Mackenzie King Bridge and 10 Daly Avenue.
These are the festival's advertised dates, rather than a continuous screening or a confirmed daily timetable. Consult the institute's festival information for the Ottawa programme, admission details and individual screening times. Toronto's festival dates and ticket policies apply to a different edition.

November 13–28, 2026. Consult the Ottawa programme for individual screening dates and times.
