Watch the best films from the 2017 EU Film Festival

Don't miss screenings of must-see films from this year's festival

In October, the European Union Film Festival (EUFF) celebrated ten years of introducing Europe's best films and creative luminaries to China. Organized by the Delegation of the European Union to China, this annual festival is dedicated to screening each member state's (yes, the United Kingdom still gets a look-in) most prestigious and intriguing films, including winners from Cannes Film Festival and the Berlinale.

For those of you who missed out on the main wave of screenings in October, Institut Francais is currently screening a curated list of some of the top films from this year's festival. Tickets are 50RMB each, and you can buy them at the Institut Francais. Here's what's still on:

Short films of EUFF

Wednesday 13 December, 6-8pm

Featuring critically-acclaimed short films 90 Degrees North, Small Talk, Amalimbo, The Goodbye, Edmond and Panthéon Discount, this screening will be followed up a Q&A with Mathieu Bompoint, producer of Mezzanine Films.

Anthropoid

Friday 15 December, 6-8pm

Starring Jamie Dornan and Cillian Murphy, Anthropoid is based on the true story of Operation Anthropoid, the WWII mission to assassinate the main architect behind the Final Solution and the Reich's third in command after Hitler and Himmler, SS General Reinhard Heydrich.

Ismael's Ghosts

Saturday 16 December, 6-8pm

Ismael's Ghosts (Les Fantômes d'Ismaël) was the opening film for this year's Cannes Film Festival. Starring Marion Cotillard and Charlotte Gainsbourg, Ismael's Ghosts follows the story of a widowed filmmaker whose former lover, long presumed dead, suddenly reenters his life.

Bloody Milk

Sunday 17 December, 6-8pm

Selected this year to compete in Cannes Film Festival's La Semaine de la Critique, Bloody Milk (Petit Paysan) follows the story of Pierre, a breeder of dairy cattle. When one of his cows suddenly contracts a deadly infectious disease, Pierre finds himself stopping at nothing to make sure the rest of his herd survives.

Jeannette

Sunday 17 December, 8-10pm

A dramatization of Joan of Arc's childhood, Jeannette is a bizarre, but entertaining, French musical film that brings to life the early chapters of the future saint's life in song. Check it out for a slightly blasphemous take on French history, religion and music.

King of the Belgians

Friday 22 December, 6-8pm

This lighthearted and highly likable film takes the form of a mockumentary, and follows the Belgian king as he attempts to return home from Istanbul after a major political crisis. Unable to fly home due to a solar storm, the king and his entourage embark on a tumultuous trip across the Balkans.
