Film Academies of Europe convene in Mantua

On 10 July 2025, representatives of film academies from across Europe gathered in Mantua, Italy, for the second General Assembly of FACE (Federation of Film Academies Europe). Hosted by the Italian Film Academy Foundation – David di Donatello Awards, and held under the patronage and with the support of the Municipality of Mantua, the assembly took place in the historic setting of the former church of Madonna della Vittoria.

The General Assembly was pleased to formally welcome two new members: The Ensor Academy (Flemish Film and Television Awards) and the Académie des César (France), bringing FACE’s total membership to 23 academies. (Full membership list)

General Assembly in Mantua on July 10, 2025

The day opened with a keynote speech by renowned journalist, film critic, essayist, and veteran festival programmer Giorgio Gosetti, who called for a unifying cultural project to restore hope and cohesion in Europe. He underlined the role of cinema—and of European film academies in particular—as powerful agents in shaping this collective vision.

The European Film Academy is a founding member of the Federation, after initiating annual gatherings for national film academies since 2006. Academy CEO Matthijs Wouter Knol and Pascal Edelmann, Head of European Film Heritage, were both present in Mantua.

During this year’s assembly, FACE adopted its official mission statement and launched a new initiative, “Best of Europe”, which showcases award-winning films from its member academies.

The first edition of “Best of Europe” will take place during the 16th Odesa International Film Festival, held in Kyiv from 24 September to 4 October 2025. A curated selection of five feature films—each a recent winner of the top prize from its national academy—will be presented in a dedicated “Best of Europe” spotlight. With this initiative, FACE not only celebrates excellence in European cinema but also expresses its solidarity with the people of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Film Academy, a member of FACE.

“In these challenging times, the support and solidarity of our European colleagues means more than words can express. Hosting the first edition of Best of Europe in Kyiv is not only a celebration of cinematic excellence — it is a powerful gesture of unity and resilience. We are honoured to welcome these outstanding films to Ukraine and to share in the cultural dialogue that FACE represents.” (Anna Machukh: Co-founder and Executive Director of the Ukrainian Film Academy, General Director of the Odesa International Film Festival)

“Best of Europe” is envisioned as a flexible, evolving program that can be adapted and implemented in a variety of formats and contexts.
