The European Film Academy announces the nominations in the category “European Short Film – Prix Vimeo”

Today the European Film Academy revealed the nominees of the category “European Short Film – Prix Vimeo”, chosen by the European Film Academy Short Film Network, at the 70th SEMINCI – Valladolid International Film Festival.

The category “European Short Film – Prix Vimeo” is organised by the European Film Academy in collaboration with a network of European film festivals. At each festival, an independent jury selects one European short film as a candidate. From the full list of 30 candidates, the participating festivals then nominate five films for the European Film Awards.

The films nominated in the category European Short Film – Prix Vimeo are:

BEING JOHN SMITH directed by John Smith (United Kingdom)
CITY OF POETS directed by Sara Rajaei (Netherlands)
L’AVANCE directed by Djiby Kebe (France)
MAN NUMBER 4 directed by Miranda Pennell (United Kingdom)
THE FLOWERS STAND SILENTLY, WITNESSING directed by Theo Panagopoulos (United Kingdom)

Partnered with Vimeo, the innovative video experience platform for creators and enterprises, the “European Short Film – Prix Vimeo” celebrates the richness and diversity of European cinema. The collaboration aims to promote cultural dialogue and highlight the richness of European storytelling. Vimeo serves as the exclusive title sponsor of the European Short Film category.

“We’re honoured to continue our partnership with the European Film Academy and celebrate the filmmakers pushing the boundaries of storytelling,” said Philip Moyer, CEO of Vimeo. “Europe has always been a creative powerhouse, and the European Short Film Awards continue to spotlight the bold voices defining its cinematic future. At Vimeo, we’ve established a platform where filmmakers can showcase their work, reach global audiences, and launch their careers — and we’re proud to continue championing that mission through the European Short Film – Prix Vimeo  award.”

Furthermore, during the year the European Film Academy welcomes Vimeo “Staff Picks”, a curated selection of exceptional short films from the Vimeo community, on the website of the European Film Awards. With new curated videos added each week, the Academy highlights achievements in short filmmaking year-round.

All 30 selected European short films, including the five nominees for the European Short Film – Prix Vimeo, are available to view on FestivalScope, the online platform for film professionals offering on-demand access to curated selections from international festivals.

Please find the nominations for the category here, including synopsis, cast, credits and statements of directors (if available).
