"Congratulations to the teams behind the three films that were just nominated in Berlin for the Venice Art Awards! All the nominations are fantastic and all would be worthy winners. Each film is very different, yet each is of outstanding artistic quality and bears a clear social message that deserves to be heard throughout the EU and beyond", said Sabine Collins, President of Venice Art Awards, on Saturday evening.
She also invited all Europeans to watch the films and vote for them. "We want European citizens to be a part of the award, especially now that the sector has been so affected by the pandemic. Venice Art Awards is an important contribution to promote European culture and common values, which define our identity and our way of life. Culture can touch the hearts and minds of people in ways that politics will never be able to", she added.
The three nominated films will be subtitled in the 24 official EU languages. Screenings in EU cinemas will be promoted – insofar as present health conditions permit – and be supported to increase visibility in all member states and in the UK.
