EFA opens vote for People’s Choice Award
A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence by Roy Andersson

Every year, the EFA People’s Choice Award allows film fans across Europe to elect their favourite film. When the European Film Academy invites its members, Europe’s greatest film stars, directors, actors and actresses, to attend the European Film Awards, the People’s Choice Award shines a spotlight on the people that films are made for: the audience. This year’s vote has just started and will end on 31 October. Voters – who can cast their vote on the EFA official website – will have the chance to join winners and nominees for the awards ceremony in Berlin on 12 December.
