Traditionally in the fall we cordially invite you to the cinema. The EUFF takes place from November 13 to 30, 2025.
All 27 EU member states plus Ukraine bring to the Canadian public the most recent and most interesting movies.
Fot the 21st edition we selected a historical drama based on the real figures working in the Czechoslovak Radio during the Prague Spring by acclaimed director Jiří Mádl. The movie won seven Czech Lions and at IFF Karlovy Vary the Prize of public.
Set against the turmoil of Prague Spring in 1968, Waves follows Tomáš, a young man who joins the international editorial office of Czechoslovak Radio, hoping to make a difference. But when a compromising recording surfaces, the journalists find themselves hunted by the secret police. Torn between protecting his younger brother and standing up for truth, Tomáš must choose between safety and conscience. Selected as the Czech Republic’s submission for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards and winner of the Audience Award at Karlovy Vary, Jiří Mádl’s gripping historical drama “captures the tension and idealism of a generation caught between revolution and repression” (Variety).
