LUX FILM PRIZE TO UNVEIL THE TOP 10 FILMS
The Official Selection of the European Parliament’s 2016 LUX Film Prize will be unveiled in partnership with the 51st Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (KVIFF) on 3 July 2016 at 19.30 in Grandhotel Pupp, Lobby bar.
The 10 films showcase the richness and diversity of European cinema, a wide range of new talents and a variety of genres and approaches. Three of the ten films will be screened across, and subtitled into all official languages of the 28 European Union countries.
On 3 July at 19.30 pm, the 10 films of the 2016 LUX Film Prize Official Selection will be unveiled
by Michaela Šojdrová, Vice-Chair of the Committee on Culture and Education of the European Parliament; Martina Dlabajová, Vice-Chair of the Committee on Budgetary Control; Julie Ward and Bogdan Wenta Member of the Committee on Culture and Education, and Doris Pack, LUX Film Prize Coordinator, in partnership with the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.
On this occasion the Audience Mention, people's preferred film from last edition, will also be announced.
FILM EDUCATION – a necessity for Europe?
An open panel on current and future Film Education approaches in Europe. Less than half of educators use audiovisual works in schools, although they acknowledge that it stimulates creativity and critical thinking. Is there a political and economic necessity for a coherent European Film Education policy? What are the challenges associated with forming the audience of tomorrow at the European level?
These and other topics would be discussed on 3 July by Michaela Sojdrova, Vice-Chair of the Committee on Culture and Education of the European Parliament and Julie Ward, Member of the Committee on Culture and Education, Mark Reid, British Film Institute, Claus Hjorth, Working group on education in EFADs, Dag Asbjornsen, European Commission, Nuria Fernandez from the University of Barcelona, and representatives of Europa Cinemas and Europa Distribution.
The discussion on these topics will follow the 4th of July with an open panel
organised by Europa Distribution in partnership with KVIFF, the LUX Film Prize and the Creative Europe Desk Munchen. These topics would resonate in autumn discussions in the European Parliament on the revision on the Audio-visual Media Service directive, published by the European Commission last May.
