The European Film Festival 2025 opened in Islamabad bringing powerful stories, talent and culture from across Europe to Pakistani audiences. The festival’s programme highlights contemporary European cinema and offers a rare chance for local viewers to engage with diverse voices and filmmaking styles.
Bulgaria will be represented at the festival by two captivating films. Omelette and The Trap are scheduled to screen as part of the festival circuit, and both titles will be coming soon to Karachi, giving audiences in Sindh an opportunity to experience Bulgarian cinema first hand.
The European Film Festival continues to build cultural bridges by presenting curated films that resonate with Pakistani viewers while showcasing the variety of European storytelling. With the Islamabad launch setting the tone for screenings across the country, the festival reinforces the growing interest in European cinema among Pakistan’s filmgoers and cultural institutions.
For those following the festival, the arrival of Omelette and The Trap marks a notable moment for Bulgarian representation and for the broader exchange between European filmmakers and Pakistani audiences under the European Film Festival banner.
