In November
2020, the European Union (EU) Delegation
in India held the 25th edition of the EU Film Festival in India
(EUFF). Marking it’s 25th year, the Film Festival is celebrating its
Silver Jubilee edition, albeit virtually for the first time ever, due to the
pandemic.
For this edition of the EUFF, the High Commission of
Malta in New Delhi, has chosen to showcase a light-hearted short film by the
name of Sunday
(Il-Ħadd). This
short comedy, written and directed by Bruce Micallef Eynaud, centres around a
man from Gozo who is returning from a weekend conference on the main island,
Malta. The man, a dentist by profession, recounts his trip to his wife. His
recount reveals his ability of twisting the truth. The film stars actors Kris
Spiteri and Manolita Grech.
The film is set in an authentic modern Malta. Sunday
(Il-Ħadd), which was shot in Maltese with English subtitles, can be
viewed via this link: https://www.festivalscope.com/film/sunday/. The film is available for viewing
until the end of November 2020.

In this
unique edition, the EUFF brought outstanding, award-winning films from across
Europe, several of which have been acclaimed by the Film Festivals of Cannes,
Locarno, Venice, Berlin and San Sebastian. The films that were showcased were
intended to offer a window into the heart of Europe.
The High
Commissioner of Malta in New Delhi, Mr Reuben Gauci, and Maltese Diplomat
responsible for Culture at the High Commission, Ms Eugenie Megally, would like to thank Mr. Bruce Micallef Eynaud, Ms. Joyce
Grech, Ewropa Kreattiva of Arts Council Malta, and the European Union
Delegation to India and Bhutan in New Delhi, for their kind cooperation.
