The European Film Academy (EFA) has unveiled the nominations for the 34th European Film Awards, with Titane, The Father and Quo Vadis, Aida? the frontrunners with four nominations each.
The winners will be voted for by the 4,100 academy members, and the presentation will take place during the awards ceremony on December 11 in Berlin.
Julia Ducournau’s Titane made history by winning the Palme d’Or at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival, making Ducournau the first solo female director to win the prize. The genre-bending film, set against the backdrop of a town racked by a series of gruesome murders, is also France’s entry for best international feature at the Oscars. It has been nominated at the European Film Awards in the film, actress, actor and director categories.

Sundance 2020 premiere The Father, which unfolds around a man refusing assistance from his daughter as he ages, is directed by Florian Zeller and stars Olivia Colman, Anthony Hopkins and Mark Gatiss. It won two Oscars at the 2021 ceremony – best leading actor for Hopkins and best adapted screenplay for Christopher Hampton and Zeller. It has been nominated for best film, director, actor and screenwriter sections at the EFAs.
Quo Vadis, Aida?, which premiered at Venice in 2020, revisits Bosnia’s Srebrenica massacre. Jasmila Žbanić directs and produces, with her husband Damir Ibrahimović also producing. The feature has been noted in the film, director, actress and screenwriter categories.
Netflix’s The Hand Of God has a respectable three nominations – film, director and screenwriter.
