    European Award Season 2026

    November 2025 –
    January 2026

    Kicking off with the announcement of the nominations for the European Film Awards in mid-November, the European Award Season celebrates the fantastic diversity of European film.

    Thanks to our partner Europa Cinemas, flagship cinemas across Europe and beyond, from Reykjavik to Athens, from Lisbon to Bucharest, but also in Hong Kong, Hanoi and Santiago de Chile, highlight European films, presenting special programmes, events and dedicated retrospectives. The program includes smalltowns and networks, festivals, cultural centres and cinematheques.

    At the same time, our partners MUBI and DAFilms present a special focus on European films, allowing film lovers around the world to participate. FestivalScope presents the short film candidates for the European Film Awards and filmfriend brings on board a whole network of libraries, offering a large selection of European films.

    The European Award Season will culminate in the celebration of the European Film Awards on 16 January 2027.

    The European Award Season is supported by the Creative Europe MEDIA Programme of the European Union and EURIMAGES and co-operates with CICAE, Europa Cinemas and European Film Promotion. Media partners are Cineuropa and EBU.
