Rich Peppiatt’s Kneecap is among the five films nominated for the European University Film Award (EUFA) as announced by the European Film Academy and Filmfest Hamburg.
Irish-language hip hop biopic Kneecap is joined by Dea Kulumbegashvili’s Venice award winner April; Cannes award winners Armand from Halfdan Ullmann Tondel and Three Kilometres To The End Of The World by Emanuel Parvu; and Kurdwin Ayub’s Austrian drama Moon.
The five selected features will be viewed and discussed across 23 universities in 23 countries with each institution choosing its favourite film.
A representative from each university will attend a three-day deliberation meeting in Hamburg to decide on the overall winner. This will be announced on December 6 ahead of the European Film Awards on December 7 in Lucerne, Switzerland.
Introduced in 2016, previous EUFA winners include Jerzy Skolimowski’s EO, Jonas Poher Rasmussen’s Flee and Ken Loach’s I, Daniel Blake.
