Nog 50 speelfilms, waaronder D’Ardennen van Robin Pront en La fille inconnue van de gebroeders Dardenne, blijven in de running voor de European Film Awards. Dat maakte de European Film Academy (EFA) vandaag bekend. De 29ste European Film Awards ceremonie wordt op 10 december in het Poolse Wroclaw georganiseerd.

De shortlist van 50 fictie speelfilms werd samengesteld door enerzijds nationale juries in 20 landen en anderzijds een jury bestaande uit Péter Bognár (Hongarije), Dave Calhoun (Groot-Brittannië), Paz Lazaro Barquilla (Spanje), Christophe Leparc (Frankrijk) en Alik Shpilyuk (Oekraïne).

De 3000 leden van de European Film Academy worden nu uitgenodigd om de genomineerden in de categorieën voor Beste Europese Film, Beste Regisseur, Beste Acteur en Actrice en Beste Scenarist aan te duiden. Deze nominaties worden op 5 november bekendgemaakt. Vervolgens kiezen de EFA leden de uiteindelijke winnaars in elk van deze categorieën, alsook in deze voor Beste Europese Kortfilm, Beste Documentaire en Beste Animatiefilm.

Een zeven-koppige jury duidt de winnaars aan in de meer gespecialiseerde categorieën zoals deze voor Beste Fotografie, Beste Monteur, Beste Production Design, Beste Kostuumontwerp, Beste Haar en Make-Up Artiest, Beste Componist en Beste Sound Design, worden deze op 5 november bekendgemaakt.

D’Ardennen is een productie van Bart Van Langendonck voor Savage Film in coproductie met Eyeworks en PRPL/Bastide Films in Nederland. Eyeworks en Savage Film zijn tevens de Vlaamse coproducenten van La fille inconnue.

Er zijn met Bacalaureat, Elle, I, Daniel Blake en Beyond the Mountains and the Hills ook nog vier coproducties met België geselecteerd. De volledige short list vind je hieronder:
