SUBMISSION

European Films

For the European program sections, feature-length fiction and documentary films (only films over 60 min.!) produced in 2025 or 2026 can be submitted. We are looking for innovative European films, which reflect current political and social realities of Europe‘s changing societies. Crossing Europe wants to trace a cinema that tells of regional peculiarities and different conditions for living on this continent. 

What is considered a “European Film”?
According to the Crossing Europe Festival regulations, a film is considered "European" if it was (co-)produced in one of the countries of the continent. In addition, the film should tell stories from, related to or about Europe.
