33rd European Film Awards

The 33rd European Film Awards was scheduled to be presented in Reykjavík, Iceland on 12 December 2020. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic the awards were announced in a virtual event online.

The list of feature-length fiction films recommended for a nomination for the 2020 European Film Awards.

The European Short Film 2020 is presented in co-operation with the following 24 European film festivals. At each of the festivals, the jury of the international competition appointed by the festival chooses a single candidate (there shall be no ex-aequo candidates). Then the participating festivals nominate five short films from the list of 24 candidates.

Nomination has been announced on 10 November 2020.

The nominees were announced on 27 October 2020. The nominations were determined by a committee consisting of EFA Board Members Katriel Schory (Israel) and Angela Bosch Ríus (Spain), director/screenwriter Paddy Breathnach (Ireland), festival programmer Markus Duffner (Germany/Italy) and distributor/festival programmer Selma Mehadžić (Croatia).

The nominations were determined by a committee consisting of EFA Board Member EFA Board Member Béatrice Thiriet (France), director Anca Damian (Romania), producer Antonio Saura (Spain) and, representing CARTOON, the European Association of Animation Film, Diogo Carvalho (producer, Portugal), Camilla Deakin (producer, UK) and Norbert Laporte (institutional, Luxembourg).[citation needed]

The nominees were announced on 8 October 2020. The nominations were determined by a committee composed of EFA Board Members Valérie Delpierre (Spain) and Anita Juka (Croatia), curator Giona A. Nazzaro (Italy) as well as film critics Marta Bałaga (Finland/Poland), Andrei Plakhov (Russia) and Frédéric Ponsard (France), all three as representatives of FIPRESCI, the International Federation of Film Critics.

The three nominated films are viewed by audiences in cinemas (online if the situation requires it) across Europe, via the LUX Film Days (February – May) and the LUX Audience Week (March or May depending on the ceremony date). Voting opens for the public from day 1 after the EFA Ceremony until two weeks before the LUX Ceremony. Members of the European Parliament vote from the beginning of March until the day before the Awards Ceremony (exact timeline TBD/TBC). The final ranking will be determined by combining the public vote ratings and the vote ratings by the Members of the European Parliament, with each group weighing 50 per cent. The film with the highest average rating will become the winner.
