European Film Festival 2026: 21 Free Films

The European Film Festival returns to Bangkok this June, bringing together 21 films from 19 countries under the theme See Beyond. Feel Beyond. The festival offers audiences the chance to explore contemporary European cinema through stories that reflect diverse cultures, perspectives, and experiences from across the continent.
