Free LUX Audience Award Programme at Cork International Film Festival

As Ireland’s largest film festival and this country’s official representative at the European Film Academy Short Film Award, Cork International Film Festival takes great pride in showcasing the best and latest films from Europe. As part of our bite-sized CIFF European Film Weekend running at the Gate Cinema 24th – 26th March, we are delighted to partner with the European Parliament Liaison Office in Ireland to present FREE films shortlisted for the LUX Audience Award 2023. The LUX Audience Award aims to strengthen ties between politics and the people by inviting European audiences to become active protagonists and rate their favourite films.

LUX – The European Audience Film Award was introduced in 2020 and is presented every year by the European Parliament and the European Film Academy, in partnership with the European Commission and Europa Cinemas. The long list of films in contention is drawn from all the Fiction and Documentary nominations put forward to the EFA Awards. Five of those films were selected at the EFA Awards on 10th December 2022 in Reykjavík, Iceland, and are shortlisted for the LUX Audience Award 2023.
