It's all in the eyes - powerful scenes in the LUX prize films (still from 'Sturm')
The European Parliament office in Malta is holding a Contemporary European Film series over three evenings, 4 – 6 May, celebrating winning entries in the European Parliament’s LUX Prize. Films start each day at 18.30 and run for around 1.5 hours. Wine and food is served after the event, and admission is free. With numbers limited to 70, and allocated on a first-come-first-served basis, do book (see below for details).
What is the LUX Prize?
Awarded by the members of the European Parliament, the LUX Prize honours a film which illustrates particularly well the universal nature of European values, cultural diversity and the European integration process. The LUX Prize consists of assistance in kind in the form of subtitling and video-to-film transfer (kinescopage) of the winning film in the 23 official EU languages as well as an original language adaptation for the deaf and hard of hearing.
