Immense succès pour "Les langues à la loupe"

... during the PRIX EUROPA Festival in Berlin on 19 October. In total, 28 short films in competition were screened in the foyer of the Festival Venue. The five prizes of the jury were given to No Fishing from Estonia by Richard Meitern "The Babel Show" by Stephane Kaas, "De pratglada kossornas park" by Oskar Westerberg, "Language is Music" by Peter Palos and "Smile" by Charles Temujin Doran. The festival public was also allowed to vote their favourite; this Public Choice Award went to No Fishing from Estonia by Richard Meitern. The Competition was initiated in co-operation with ELIA (European League of Institutes of the Arts) for film students throughout Europe. The final objective in launching this competition was to raise awareness among young European audiences of the benefits of Europe’s linguistic and cultural diversity. More then 100 students from ELIA member institutions from the 27 EU Member States plus Norway, Iceland, Turkey and Liechtenstein applied. They were asked to develop an artistic film reflecting Europe’s linguistic diversity and the role played by different languages in intercultural dialogue in Europe. Some of the films are now available on our website. --> Directors of the selected video clips and their teachers were invited to Berlin where they had the opportunity to attend workships, including a presentation by Gareth Jones, Scenario Films Ltd, entitled Raising Cain, International Script Development in a Multilingual Context --> Presentation of the 10 short films (Highlights) (pdf) --> What is E3'film ?
