Thomas Vinterberg’s ‘Another Round’ sweeps European Film Awards (EFA)

Thomas Vinterberg’s Another Round, the Danish selection for Oscar consideration, was the big winner of the European Film Awards (EFA) today, taking home all the top prizes and everything it was nominated for: European Film, European Director, European Screenwriter (Vinterberg with Tobias Lindholm) and Mads Mikkelsen as European Actor. Another Round, Corpus Christi and Martin Eden had led the nominations for the 33rd annual awards but the latter two went home empty handed.

Hidden Away was the only other film won more than one award, taking Cinematography and Costume Design while The Personal History of David Copperfield won Production Design. Collective, the Romanian documentary about a corrupt election, was named European Documentary and Paula Beer was named European Actress for Undine.

Founded in 1988, the European Film Academy is made up of more than 3,800 European film professionals with the common aim of promoting Europe’s film culture. Throughout the year, the European Film Academy (EFA) initiates and participates in a series of activities dealing with film politics as well as economic, artistic, and training aspects. The programme includes conferences, seminars and workshops, and a common goal is to build a bridge between creativity and the industry. Some of EFA’s events have already become an institution for encounters within the European film community.

The entire program was streamed live at www.europeanfilmawards.eu and through an international network of streaming and broadcasting partners, with the nominees & winners joining via live video conference and moderated by TV host Steven Gätjen.
