Scroll down for full list

The European Film Academy and EFA Productions have announced the titles of the 46 films on this year’s selection list - the list of films recommended for a nomination for the European Film Awards 2013.

A total of 32 European countries are represented. In the 20 countries with the most EFA Members, these members have voted one national film directly into the selection list. To complete the list, a selection committee consisting of EFA Board Members and invited experts have included further films.

In the coming weeks, the 2,900 EFA members will vote for the nominations in the categories European Film, Director, Actor, Actress and Screenwriter. The nominations will then be announced on Nov 9 at the Seville European Film Festival in Spain.

A seven-member jury will decide on the awards recipients in the categories European Cinematographer, Editor, Production Designer, Costume Designer, Composer and Sound Designer.

The 26th European Film Awards will take place in Berlin on Dec 7.
