Europe's Finest
Singapore's longest-running foreign film festival, the European Union Film Festival (EUFF), returns for its 28th edition from May 10. A total of 25 features reflecting a diversity of perspectives, histories and cultures from across Europe will be screened.
It kicks off with Austria's Fly Away Home, about the Russian occupation of Vienna as seen through the eyes of a nine-year-old girl. The film is based on a novel by popular children's book author Christine Nöstlinger, and its director Mirjam Unger will attend the screening.
There will also be several films focusing on female perspectives such as The Divine Order, which explores the fight for women's suffrage in Switzerland during the seventies; Insyriated, about a mother trying desperately to keep her family together as war rages; and Fukushima, Mon Amour (pictured), which finds two women with different backgrounds confronting their individual pasts together.
