Another Round, Corpus Christi and Martin Eden had led the nominations for the 33rd annual awards but the latter two went home empty handed.

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.
