Cinema professionals from across Europe are gathered in Berlin this evening for the 36th European Film Awards.
Finnish filmmaker Aki Kaurismäki’s Fallen Leaves and UK director Jonathan Glazer The Zone Of Interest top the nominations this year, followed by Justine Triet’s Cannes Palme d’Or winner Anatomy Of A Fall and Poland’s Agnieszka Holland’s Green Border, which won the Venice Special Jury Prize.
The body’s 4,600 members – hailing from “geographical Europe” as well as Israel, Palestine and Russia, – have voted on an official Academy Selection made up of 40 films selected by the European Academy Board and a group of experts.
The awards are unfolding against the backdrop of the second year of the Ukraine War as well as the Israel-Hamas conflict, the reverberations of which are being felt in Europe.
The event opened with a message of unity from the European Academy President Agnieszka Holland, Chair Mike Downey and CEO Matthijs Wouter Knol.
“We have Ukrainian, Russian, Israeli and Palestinian members… We want this to be a space to talk, to listen, to understand,” they said in a joint statement.
Deadline is following the ceremony live from Berlin. Check in here for live updates.
