THREE GERMAN SHORTS NOMINATED FOR THE EUROPEAN SHORT FILM AWARD

The European Film Awards are traditionally presented in December, and the European Short Film 2018 will also be awarded. Films qualify for nomination by winning an award at one of 15 European film festivals. Three German short films and co-productions are already on the nomination list this year. CONTAINER by Sebastian Lang was awarded at the Cork Film Festival 2017, BURKINA BRANDENBURG KOMPLEX by Ulu Braun is the Short Film Nominee of the Berlinale 2018, and I SIGNED THE PETITION by Mahdi Fleifel – a co-production by Germany, UK and Switzerland – found its way onto the nomination list by winning at the Sarajevo Film Festival in August. The winners of the International Short Film Festival in Drama (Greece) and the Encounters Short Film and Animation Festival Bristol (UK) have not yet been nominated.
