Through this prize, the European Parliament promotes and supports Europe’s film industry at a time when it is threatened by the ever-growing presence of online platforms, which are subject to little regulation compared to the traditional film sector. Our European identity is not only made up of different traditions and cultures but also of common values: justice, freedom, tolerance. Since its creation, the LUX FILM PRIZE has included hundreds of directors, distributors and producers, all reinforcing and giving strength to our unique European identity. Antonio Tajani President of the European Parliament I firmly believe that European cinema is a major factor for deepening the European identity. The LUX FILM PRIZE has become a window for the image of European films world-wide. In my opinion, the LUX FILM PRIZE is the greatest tool today for the promotion and marketing of the vibrant variety European cinema has to offer. It enables award winning films to be subtitled in all official European Union languages and therefore to reach a wider European audience. Evelyne Gebhardt Vice-President of the European Parliament Cinema increases our knowledge about our own and other cultures. It raises awareness, awakens interest and curiosity; it exposes and undoes stereotypes; and it brings to light multiple perspectives, makes visible and challenges our values. Petra Kammerevert Chair of the Committee of Culture and Education 6 SHARING OUR STORIES Eleven years ago the LUX FILM PRIZE started to explore new ways of crossing borders and overcoming barriers, building bridges paved by the emotions brought by films, through a common sense of sharing a building-yard which binds our European identity and diversity. Culture, and cinema - as a cultural mass medium - are very much about understanding each other, about overcoming those borders, and above all about sharing. Culture and films should be seen as “keys” that can unlock dialogue between communities. They are ideal tools to address stereotypes and prejudices, to pave the way for an intercultural dialogue and to respond to the educational challenges faced by our societies. This is exactly what the LUX FILM PRIZE is about. With the LUX FILM PRIZE catalogue, we invite you to discover more than 100 poignant masterpieces that take you on a journey. Look at your neighbour through the lens of emerging or established directors. Use films to touch the hearts of European citizens and to talk about the importance of being united in our diversity. See Europe in a different light. 7 LUX FILM PRIZE Most European films are only shown in the country where they were made and are rarely distributed across borders. The contrast is even bigger when we see that more than 60% of films released are European, but these are only watched by one third of the cinema audience. In this context, the European Parliament created the LUX FILM PRIZE in 2007. It has enhanced both the distribution of quality European films and the European debate. The 10 films in the LUX FILM PRIZE Official Selection unveiled at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival are the showcase of European cinema. In particular, the selection of the 3 final films in the LUX FILM PRIZE Competition, announced at the Venice Days, is closely followed by the film industry. Their distribution is facilitated by Parliament´s support with subtitling in the 24 official languages and the DCP [Digital Cinema Package] production per country. Moreover, the LUX FILM PRIZE winner is also adapted for the visually and hearing impaired, thus enlarging its audience and market potential. The LUX FILM PRIZE films are also disseminated via the field of education. Partners from different areas take advantage of the high quality film catalogue and also of the educational kits that are produced in all the Official EU languages for each competing film since 2012. The LUX FILM PRIZE filmography offers a wide variety of high quality films that echo the European Parliament´s agenda at legislative level. These films portraying life in Europe are a powerful communication tool to address the concerns of citizens from an array of angles, be it human, passionate, expert, realistic or political. 8 LUX FILM DAYS The LUX FILM DAYS are a unique cultural experience which transcends borders. From October until December, the LUX FILM DAYS create a temporary European Public Space in which European cinema lovers can watch and share 3 remarkable films, in the 28 Member States and in the 24 official European languages. The screenings usually take place in cooperation with film festivals, cinematheques and theatres. They are also often national previews. In 2017 the three competing films are screened more than 220 times across Europe, accompanied by educational kits in the corresponding languages. Herein lies the uniqueness of the European Parliament’s initiative. The LUX FILM DAYS is an experience that can be shared across Europe no matter the language spoken. It creates a platform for belonging to a European public space, by discussing the same topic in the same place and at the same time. As part of the wider reflection, the audience is invited to express and share their views with other Europeans and to vote for their favourite film on luxprize.eu or on LUX FILM PRIZE Facebook page, awarding an AUDIENCE MENTION. 9 FILMOGRAPHY 07-17 OFFICIAL SELECTION COMPETITION 2017 120 120 BATTEMENTS PAR MINUTE BATTEMENTS PAR MINUTE BPM (Beats Per Minute) DIRECTOR Robin Campillo DURATION 144 min YEAR OF RELEASE 2017 SCREENPLAY Robin Campillo CAST Nahuel Pérez Biscayart, Arnaud Valois, Adèle Haenel, Antoine Reinartz, Félix Maritaud, Médhi Touré, Aloïse Sauvage, Simon Bourgade, Catherine Vinatier, Saadia Bentaieb, Ariel Borenstein, Théophile Ray, Simon Guelat, Jean-François Auguste, Coralie Russier CINEMATOGRAPHY Jeanne Lapoirie PRODUCERS Hugues Charbonneau, Marie-Ange Luciani MUSIC Arnaud Rebotini PRODUCTION Les Films de Pierre, Page 114, France 3 Cinéma, Memento Films, Films Distribution - FD Productions SALES AGENT Films Distribution COUNTRY France ORIGINAL VERSION French Paris, the early 1990s: a group of young activists is desperately tied to finding the cure SUBTITLES AND EDUCATIONAL KIT against an unknown lethal disease.
