"The Cannes Grand Prix winner is nominated for best European film, best screenplay and best director, with further best actor and best actress nominations for Stellan Skarsgard and Renate Reinsve. In the film, which comes to cinemas in the UK and other European territories this December, Skarsgard plays a once-famous film director trying to repair ties with his two estranged daughters."
"German film-maker Mascha Schilinski's Sound of Falling, which explores cross-generational traumas at a farmhouse in the Brandenburg countryside, is nominated for three prizes, the same as Iranian auteur Jafar Panahi's It Was Just an Accident, this year's Palme d'Or winner. The 15-film shortlist for European film of the year includes five animated features and five documentaries, including Andres Veiel's portrait of Nazi-collaborating film-maker Leni Riefenstahl and Igor Bezinovic's Fiume o Morte!, hailed by Guardian film critic Peter Bradshaw as a protofascist Passport to Pimlico."
Joachim Trier's family drama Sentimental Value leads the European Film Awards with five nominations, including best European film, best screenplay, best director, and acting nods for Stellan Skarsgard and Renate Reinsve. Stellan Skarsgard portrays a once-famous director attempting to repair relationships with his estranged daughters; the film will reach UK and other European cinemas in December. Oliver Laxe's techno thriller Sirat received four nominations. Mascha Schilinski's Sound of Falling and Jafar Panahi's It Was Just an Accident each earned three nominations. The 15-film shortlist includes five animated features and five documentaries. The ceremony will take place in Berlin on 17 January.
