The 36th edition of the European Film Awards, held in Berlin, witnessed a remarkable showcase of talent where five films with EU support emerged victorious, claiming a total of seven prestigious awards.
Leading the pack was “The Promised Land (Bastarden)” by Nikolaj Arcel, which garnered accolades for Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, and bestowed the Best Actor award upon Mads Mikkelsen for his compelling portrayal in the film. Additionally, “Smoke Sauna Sisterhood (Savvusanna sõsarad)” by Anna Hints shone bright, securing the award for Best Documentary. Furthermore, “Robot Dreams” by Pablo Berger triumphed in the category of Best Feature Film, while “Club Zero” by Jessica Hausner was honored for Best Original Score, and “La Chimera” took home the award for Best Production Design, under the exceptional direction of Alice Rohrwacher.
It is notable that these remarkable productions were made possible through the support, development, and distribution facilitated by the Creative Europe MEDIA Programme, an initiative backed by the European Union.
The stellar success of these films is a testament to the power of collaboration and support, with the European Union’s commitment to nurturing and promoting exceptional cinematic works that exhibit artistic excellence and cultural diversity. These laurels not only celebrate the talent and dedication of the filmmakers but also underscore the invaluable role of EU support in fostering a flourishing European film industry.
