For us, the film students, the European University Film Award is a unique way to watch and discuss movies with our peers, and to critically reflect on European cinema in a collaborative setting. The participation in a selection process gives insight into the role of jurys in other festivals, and invites to consider themes and motifs recurrent across the films. More generally, the EUFA offers a great opportunity to keep in touch with the most recent film production in Europe.
