?Cinema has the power to transport us to different worlds and open our minds to various perspectives,? shares Iwona Piórko, European Union Ambassador to Singapore. From 16 to 31 May, the European Union (EU) Delegation to Singapore will bring the best of contemporary European cinema to the heart of Singapore at independent cinema operator The Projector. More than 20 films across the EU and works from local young filmmakers will be showcased at the European Film Festival (EUFF).

In a similar vein, Singapore is a multicultural society with diverse groups of people from different backgrounds. Using the medium of film, society is not only entertained but is made known of salient issues through the storytelling of these filmmakers.
