The End stars George MacKay and Stephen Graham alongside Swinton in the musical about the last human family. Neon has acquired North America rights.
The Empire, the latest film from French director Bruno Dumont, receives €450,000 ($500,000). The sci-fi feature stars Virginie Efira, Lily-Rose Depp, Adele Haenel and Fabrice Luchini, and began filming in January.
Set on France’s northern Opal Coast, the film centres on a fishing village that is visited by extra-terrestrial knights. It is a co-production between France, Germany, Italy and Belgium.
Jorgen Lerdam and Kari Juusonen’s Finland-Germany-Ireland-Denmark co-production Niko – Beyond The Northern Lights receives €470,000 ($523,000). The animated feature is the third instalment of the Niko franchise, and sees a young reindeer boy compete for a spot in Santa’s reindeer squad. It is the only animation in the selection, alongside seven documentaries.
Some 52.2% of the projects are to be directed by women, up from 34.4% of the submissions.
The Eurimages Executive Committee decided the awards via an online meeting, at which they also chose to grant the fund’s patronage to the Documentary Association of Europe for the publication of a new financing guide for the documentary sector, including a co-production guide.
