The European Film Festival brought to Malta by EUNIC returns for its sixth edition from Tuesday 15 to Sunday 20 September 2026, with ten contemporary films from ten different countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three of this year’s screenings will be followed by a discussion with the teams behind the films. The festival opens on 15 September with Wishbone, a Greek drama about a hospital security guard drawn into a medical scam, with the director present for a Q&A with the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On 16 September, the Polish film The Altar Boys, in which a group of altar servers takes justice into its own hands, is followed by the Maltese feature Ciao Ciao: four couples, one chaotic night, and a Q&A with the cast and screenwriters. This year will also feature the Oscar & BAFTA-winning documentary Mr Nobody Against Putin, by David Borenstein and Pavel Talankin. This 2025 documentary tells the story of a Russian teacher secretly documenting his small-town school\u2019s transformation into a war recruitment centre during the Ukraine invasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The remaining programme spans Italy’s Duse, on the actress Eleonora Duse returning to the stage as fascism rises; France’s The Fourth Wall, David Oelhoffen’s adaptation of Sorj Chalandon’s novel about staging Antigone in wartime Beirut; Germany’s 22 Lengths; Hungary’s Brazilians; the Dutch feature Our Girls; and Spain’s House on Fire. All films are screened in their original language with English subtitles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
