Further Cannes award winners to make the first wave of titles include Lukas Dhont’s Close, Tarik Saleh’s Boy From Heaven, Jerzy Skolimowski’s Eo and Ali Abbasi’s Holy Spider as well as The Eight Mountains, directed by Felix van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch, and Tori And Lokita, directed by Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne.
A second selection of 10-15 further titles will be revealed next month.
In the coming weeks, the 4,400 European Film Academy members will screen the selected films and, after part two has been announced, vote for the nominations in the categories European film, director, actor, actress and screenwriter as well as European documentary.
The nominations will be announced on November 8. Additionally, an eight-member jury will decide on the award recipients for European cinematography, editing, production design, costume design, make-up and hair, original score, sound and visual effects.
The 35th European Film Awards will be presented on December 10 in Reykjavík, Iceland.
