Les films nominés pour le premier Prix du Jeune Public EFA sont BLUE BIRD de Gust Van den Berghe (Belgique), KAUWBOY de BoudewijnKoole (Pays-Bas) et L’ENFANT D’EN HAUT (SISTER) de Ursula Meier (France/Suisse). Un nouveau lien www.europeanfilmawards.eu donne aux adolescents plus d’informations sur les films nominés et les six villes participant au Prix du Jeune Public EFA.

Les nominations ont été désignés par un comité composé de Florence Dupont, directrice artistique du Festival Jeune Public de Sancy pour un jeune public (Sancy), Jerzy Moszkowicz, directeur du Festival Jeune Public Ale Kino (Pologne) et Maryanne Redpath, directrice de la section Génération du Festival de Berlin (Allemagne). Après s’être réunis au Festival International pour enfants de Kristiansand en Norvège, ils ont déclarés :

Cela a été un grand défi de participer aux nominations pour ce premier Prix du Jeune Public EFA. Nos discussions ont été âpres, en raison de la grande diversité des films soumis, tant sur le fond que sur la forme. Nous n’avons pas seulement discuté des genres et styles variés. Nous avons aussi été attentifs la diversité des jeunes publics et nous avons choisi trois films de grande qualité au jeune public, mais pas uniquement Nous souhaitons féliciter les films nominés et espérons que le jeune jury des six villes participantes apprécieront ces films.

Cette nouvelle initiative particulière lancée pour la 25ème édition des European Film Awards est soutenue par un réseau de six partenaires : EYE Film Institute des Pays Bas, le Film Center Serbia, Danish Film Institute, Deutsche Kindermedienstiftung Goldener Spatz (Allemagne), Swedish Film Institute, et le Museo Nazionale del Cinema (Italie).

Le 10 juin, au cours de la Journée du Cinéma pour un Jeune Public, trois films seront projetés aux jeunes spectateurs (10 – 13 ans) à Amsterdam, Belgrade, Copenhague, Erfurt, Stockholm et Turin. C’est donc un jeune public qui jugera et désignera le gagnant juste à l’issue des projections. La remise de ce prix aura lieu le même jour à Erfurt.

Le Prix du Jeune Public de la European Film Academy est organisé et présenté par la European Film Academy et EFA Productions avec le soutien du Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung (MDM). Les événements de la Journée du Cinéma pour un Jeune Public seront organisés avec le soutien des partenaires respectifs de chaque pays.

Berlin, le 15 Mai 2012

Für den neu ins Leben gerufenen Kinderfilmpreis der European Film Academy, den Young Audience Award, sind nominiert: BLUE BIRD von Gust Van den Berghe (Belgien), KAUWBOY von Boudewijn Koole (Niederlande) und SISTER von Ursula Meier (Schweiz/Frankreich). Ein neuer Bereich auf www.europeanfilmawards.eu bietet Kindern und Erwachsenen weitere Informationen zu den nominierten Filmen und den sechs Städten, die am Young Audience Film Day teilnehmen.

Die Nominierungen wurden von einem Komitee festgelegt, das sich zusammensetzte aus Florence Dupont, künstlerische Leiterin des Sancy Film Festival for Young People (Frankreich), Jerzy Moszkowicz, Leiter des International Young Audience Film Festival Ale Kino (Polen), und Maryanne Redpath, Leiterin der Generation-Sektion der Berlinale. Nach ihrer Sitzung beim Internationalen Kinderfilmfestival Kristiansand in Norwegen, gaben sie folgende Erklärung ab:

Am Nominierungsverfahren für den ersten europäischen Young Audience Award teilzuhaben war eine echte Herausforderung. Wegen der großen Vielfalt – formal und inhaltlich – der eingereichten Filme, führten wir intensive Diskussionen. Dabei ging es nicht nur um die verschiedenen Genres und Formate, wir beschäftigten uns auch mit der Vielfalt des jungen Publikums. Letztendlich wählten wir drei Filme von hoher Qualität aus, die das junge Publikum fordern werden, aber nicht unbedingt ausschließlich für ein junges Publikum gedacht waren. Wir gratulieren den nominierten Filmen und hoffen, daß die Kinderjuries in den sechs teilnehmenden Städten Spaß dabei haben werden, diese Filme zu sehen.

Als Auftakt zum 25. Europäischen Filmpreis, der am 1. Dezember in Malta stattfindet, startet die Initiative in diesem Jahr mit sechs Partnern: dem EYE Filminstitut Niederlande, dem Filmcenter Serbien, dem Dänischen Filminstitut, der Deutschen Kindermedienstiftung Goldener Spatz, dem Schwedischen Filminstitut und dem Nationalen Filmmuseum in Italien.

Am 10. Juni, dem Young Audience Film Day, ist Erfurt eine der sechs Städte in denen die drei nominierten Filme gezeigt werden. Nach Sichtung der Filme wählt das junge Publikum (10 bis 13 Jahre) in Amsterdam, Belgrad, Erfurt, Kopenhagen, Norrköping und Turin den Gewinner. Direkt im Anschluß findet in Erfurt die Preisverleihung statt, bei der die Ergebnisse aus den beteiligten Städten live via Skype zugeschaltet werden.

Die European Film Academy und EFA Productions präsentieren den European Film Academy Young Audience Award mit Unterstützung der Mitteldeutschen Medienförderung (MDM). Die Veranstaltungen am Young Audience Film Day werden von den jeweiligen nationalen Partnern organisiert. Thüringen hat sich in Deutschland als Zentrum für Kinderfilm und -medien etabliert. Die Veranstaltung in Erfurt wird von der der Deutschen Kindermedienstiftung Goldener Spatz organisiert und unterstützt durch die Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung (MDM), die Thüringer Staatskanzlei, die ImPuls-Region Erfurt-Weimar-Jena und den Kinderkanal von ARD und ZDF. Offizieller Übersetzungspartner ist English Express.

Berlin, 15. Mai 2012

Nominated for the European Film Academy’s first Young Audience Award are BLUE BIRD by Gust Van den Berghe (Belgium), KAUWBOY by Boudewijn Koole (the Netherlands) and SISTER by Ursula Meier (France/Switzerland). A new section on www.europeanfilmawards.eu offers children and adults more information about the nominated films and the six cities participating in the EFA Young Audience Award.

The nominations were chosen by a committee consisting of Florence Dupont, artistic director, Sancy Film Festival for Young People (France), Jerzy Moszkowicz, director, International Young Audience Film Festival Ale Kino (Poland), and Maryanne Redpath, director, Generation section, Berlin International Film Festival (Germany). After they met at the Kristiansand International Children’s Film Festival in Norway, they issued the following statement:

It was a great challenge to participate in the nomination procedure for this first European Young Audience Award. Due to the great diversity – in form and content – of the submitted films, our discussions were intense. We not only discussed films of various genres and formats, we also considered the diversity of today’s young audiences. In the end we selected three high quality films which will challenge young audiences but haven’t necessarily been made exclusively for them. We wish to congratulate the nominated films and hope that the young audience juries in the six participating cities will enjoy watching these films.

This special initiative on the occasion of this year’s 25th European Film Awards will kick off this year with a network of the following six partners: EYE Film Institute Netherlands, Film Center Serbia, Danish Film Institute, Deutsche Kindermedienstiftung Goldener Spatz (Germany), Swedish Film Institute, and Museo Nazionale del Cinema (Italy).

On Young Audience Film Day on 10 June, the three nominated films will be screened to a young audience (10 – 13 year-olds) in Amsterdam, Belgrade, Copenhagen, Erfurt, Norrköping and Turin. And it is the young audience that will act as a jury and vote for the winner right after the screenings. The presentation of the award will take place on the same day in Erfurt.

The European Film Academy Young Audience Award is organised and presented by the European Film Academy and EFA Productions with the support of the Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung (MDM). The national Young Audience Film Day events will be organised with the support of the respective national partners. Official translation partner is English Express.

For the first time, the EFA project A SUNDAY IN THE COUNTRY travelled outside of Europe bringing seven young filmmakers from Europe – Julie Bille (Denmark), Richard Böhringer (Germany), Carolina Hellgård (Sweden), Ray Marhuenda Pic (Spain), Kordian Piwowarski (Poland), Alice Rohrwacher (Italy), and Gust Van den Berghe (Belgium) – all the way to India. Here they met with seven young filmmakers from India: Amit Abhyankar, Kanchan Ghosh, Tushar Prakesh, Tathagata Singha, Siddharth Sinha, Shalini Usha Nair and Ujjwal Utkarsh. Realised in co-operation with the Goethe Institute (which in India is the Max Mueller Bhavan), the project brought the group to Morna, an idyllic place out in the countryside of Uttar Pradesh, where they watched and discussed each other’s films, cooked and ate Indian, European, and increasingly Indo-European food together, and explored the environment.

Joining the group were EFA Member Jakub Duszyński (distributor, Poland), Indian director / environmentalist Pradip Krishen who brought along his 1989 film IN WHICH ANNIE GIVES IT THOSE ONES, and Czech film critic Dominika Prejdová, creating an atmosphere of exchange between different generations of filmmakers from various cultural backgrounds.

In addition to the daily screenings, the programme included a safari of the wildlife sanctuary, a trip to the Ganga river, and a visit to Shukratal (with a visit to the Hanuman temple). A final two days in Delhi gave the participants enough time to discover the Indian capital and included screenings at the Max Mueller Bhavan of the 2009 Discovery winner KATALIN VARGA and a selection of short films nominated for the European Film Awards 2011.

A SUNDAY IN THE COUNTRY EXTENDED was realised in the framework of the celebratory year “India + Germany 2011 – 2012: Infinite Opportunities” and supported by Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, the German Federal Foreign Office, the Asia-Pacific Committee of German Business, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, and the label “Germany – Land of Ideas”.
