European Film Awards 2013 announce six winners ahead of 7 December event
The European Film Academy have announced the first winners to be honoured at this year’s 26th European Film Awards in Berlin on December 7. Winners in the categories of cinematography, editing, production design, costume design, composer and sound design were chosen by a seven-member jury following a decision of the EFA Board ‘to draw more attention to the awards recipients in these categories.’
The winners as noted by the jury:
European Cinematographer 2013 – Prix Carlo di Palma
… for his intuitive camerawork, both realistic and poetic, studying the characters with tenderness in an environment unknown to most of us – by sensitively lighting them he provides us with deep insight into their psychology and emotions:
Asaf Sudry for LEMALE ET HA’HALAL (Fill the Void) – Israel
European Editor 2013
… for an editing which continuously stimulates the senses and creates a weave of endless meanings in the storytelling:
Cristiano Travaglioli for LA GRANDE BELLEZZA (The Great Beauty) – Italy/France
European Production Designer 2013
… for a production design that acts as if it were a character itself – dramaturgically integrated and contributing essentially to the film’s story and style:
Sarah Greenwood for ANNA KARENINA – UK
European Costume Designer 2013
… for a costume design combining meticulous research of Spanish tradition and craft with the freedom of a gothic fairy tale:
Paco Delgado for BLANCANIEVES – Spain/France
European Composer 2013
… for proving once again his extraordinary capacity of always renewing his style while remaining faithful to the style of the director and the film – a universal composer, indeed, and a true master:
Ennio Morricone for THE BEST OFFER – Italy
European Sound Designer 2013
… for creating a sound design, pure and radical – like a music score that transforms every day sound into a composition:
Matz Müller & Erik Mischijew for PARADIES: GLAUBE (Paradise: Faith) Austria/Germany/France
The nominations in the categories European Film, Comedy, Director, Screenwriter, Actress and Actor will be announced on 9 November at the Seville European Film Festival.
