European cinema is the cinema of Europe. Compared to the cinema of the United States, European cinema has the reputation of being more liberal when it comes to the representation of nudity and sexuality but less liberal when it comes to the depiction of violence. In the US, European cinema, like world cinema, is often shown in art house theatres.

Some notable European film movements include German Expressionism, Italian neorealism, French New Wave and New German Cinema.

The cinema of Europe has its own awards, the European Movie Awards.
