The European Film Academy has revealed the first tranche of film titles that members can consider for nominations for the European Film Awards, which take place on Dec. 7 in Lucerne, Switzerland.

The academy’s selection of 29 titles covers films that had their first official screening between June 1, 2023, and May 31, 2024. Further titles will be announced in September, which will include films that had their premieres in the summer and early autumn festivals, such as Locarno and Venice.

The selection is the first in a three-stage process. First, the 5,000 members of the academy will start to watch and vote for the selected films. Based on their votes the nominations in the European Film, Director, Actor, Actress, Screenwriter, Documentary and Discovery categories, as well as the Young Audience Award, will be made public on Nov. 5. The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on Dec. 7.

The selected films will also be considered for the Cinematography, Editing, Production Design, Costume Design, Make-up & Hair, Original Score, Sound and Visual Effects categories, which will be determined by an eight-member jury consisting of representatives of the different arts and crafts. There will be no nominations in these categories.
