The first wave of titles in contention for the 2024 European Film Awards include Yorgos Lanthimos’ Kinds Of Kindness and Sundance award-winner Kneecap.
Cannes premieres feature predominantly in the 29 titles unveiled today (August 14), including Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Perez; Mohammad Rasoulof’s The Seed Of The Sacred Fig; Miguel Gomes’ Grand Tour; Halfdan Ullmann Tønde’s Armand and Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance – all of which picked up prizes on the Croisette.
Other films from Cannes include Andrea Arnold’s Bird; Emanuel Pârvu’s Three Kilometers To The End Of The World; The Count Of Monte-Cristo; and Magnus von Horn’s The Girl With The Needle.
Italian box office hit There’s Still Tomorrow is also in contention as are San Sebastian titles The Rye Horn, from Jaione Camborda, and Isabel Coixet’s Un Amor. Several features on the list have already been put forward for best international feature at the Oscars including Austrian entry The Devil’s Bath by Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala.
The titles were selected by the European Film Academy board to be considered by its members for the upcoming European Film Awards which takes place on December 7 in Lucerne, Switzerland.
Over the coming week, the Academy’s 5,000 members will begin watching the films and voting in a variety of categories including European film, director, actress, actor and screenplay as well as European discovery and young audience award. Nominations will be unveiled on November 5.
To be eligible, the features must have had their first official screening between June 1 2023 and May 31 2024, and have a European director. Exceptions the latter include those with a European refugee or similar status or those who have lived in Europe and worked in the European film industry for at least five consecutive years.
Further titles will be announced in September.
