The EUFCN is organizing the award in cooperation with Cineuropa. Voting on the Cineuropa website is open until November 30th. You can cast your vote for Vis here.
The EUFCN has 90 members from 30 countries who promote European locations and film industries. The European Film Location Award was organized for the first time last year, in honour of the 10th anniversary of the EUFCN. Last year’s winner was the city of Görlitz, where Wes Anderson shot The Grand Budapest Hotel.
‘The success of the first European Film Location Award encouraged us to make this an annual event. We have 12 beautiful locations in the running this year, each of which played an integral role in the films and TV series that were shot there in 2017. We believe that this award will make Europe even more recognizable throughout the world,’ said Truls Kontny president of the EUFCN.
