Next steps



At the end of July a shortlist of three films selected from these 10 films will be announced at a press conference during the Venice Days in Rome. These will then be shown in a subtitled version in every EU country during the Lux Film Days this autumn.



The winner will be selected by MEPs and announced in the Strasbourg plenary on 14 November 2017. The winning film will be subtitled in all of the EU's 24 official languages while a special version for the visually and hearing impaired will be created as well.



Audience Mention for 2016 Lux Film Prize



Although MEPs decide on the winner, the public also gets to have its say. During the Lux Film Days screenings everyone can vote for their favourite among the three finalists. Afterwards, the Audience Mention prize is revealed in Karlovy Vary. This year it went to Toni Erdmann by director Maren Ade and was announced by Nora Perrin, who was randomly picked from those who voted.



About the Lux Film Prize



The Lux Film Prize is an award given out by MEPs to promote European cinema, make films accessible to larger audiences across languages and cultures, help promising productions circulate beyond their national market and encourage debate about values and social issues across Europe.
