Film Academy to recognize excellence
in European cinematic achievements.
The awards are given in over ten
categories of which the most
important is the Film of the year.
They are restricted to European
cinema and European producers,
directors, and actors. The awards
were originally called the Felix
Awards but the name was changed to
the European Film Awards. The host
cities alternate, as Berlin hosts
them every other year while other
European cities get the chance in
between.

European Film Awards must be
European feature-length fiction
films intended for normal theatrical
release which must have had their
first official screening (be it at a
festival or at a regular cinema)
after 1 July of the year before.
Based on a selection of app 40 films
recommended for a nomination, the
members of the European Film Academy
vote for the nominations in the main
categories, which are announced in
early November at the Seville
European Film Festival. Based on the
nominations, the members of the
European Film Academy then vote for
the winners which are announced at
