European Competition 7

The European Competition is an intriguing mix of liveaction fiction, animation and documentary. Out of more than 3,000 entries, seven programmes remained. The winner of this category immediately makes it to the longlist of the Oscars, the European Film Awards and for British candidates: the BAFTAs. Equally important: viewers also get a vote, thanks to the audience award.
