20/05/2021 - Once again this year, Europa Cinemas, the LUX Audience Award and the Giornate degli Autori are inviting 27 young filmgoers to participate in their initiative during the Venice Film Festival

The 27 Times Cinema initiative, launched jointly by the European Parliament’s LUX Audience Award, Venice's Giornate degli Autori and Europa Cinemas, is looking forward to welcoming its 2021 participants.

27 young film lovers chosen from among the young audience (one participant per member state of the European Union) of our network members, will attend the Venice Film Festival (taking place on the Lido from 1-11 September) and will constitute the Giornate degli Autori Jury awarding a prize of €20,000 to the best film in this year’s selection. During Venice, the 27 jurors will also take part in workshops with audiovisual industry professionals and will share their Venice experience online on Cineuropa and Europa Cinemas’ social networks. Moreover, after the festival, they will become LUX Audience Award ambassadors and will be actively involved in promoting and organising the LUX Audience Award.
