Selection of the films to be screened in the 2020 edition of the European University Film Award:
The European Film Academy and Filmfest Hamburg take great pleasure in announcing the five nominated films for the European University Film Award (EUFA). Introduced in 2016, this award is presented by university students from across Europe. Based on the EFA Feature Film Selection and the EFA Documentary Selection, these are the nominations:

The nominated films will be viewed and discussed in 25 universities in 25 countries and each institution will select its favourite film. In early December, one student representative from each university will attend a three-day digital deliberation meeting to decide on the overall winner. The winner will then be announced on 10 December, shortly before this year’s EFA Ceremony on 12 December.
The aim of this initiative by the European Film Academy (EFA) and Filmfest Hamburg is to involve a younger audience, to spread the “European idea” and to transport the spirit of European cinema to an audience of university students. It shall also support film dissemination, film education and the culture of debating.
The European University Film Award 2020 is made possible with the support of the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media and in close collaboration with NECS–European Network for Cinema and Media Studies.
