The European Film Academy has revealed the nominees of the European Short Film - Prix Vimeo category in the 38th European Film Awards, which will take place on 17 January in Berlin, at the 70th Seminci – Valladolid International Film Festival.
The category “European Short Film – Prix Vimeo” is chosen by the European Film Academy Short Film Network in collaboration with a network of European film festivals. At each festival, an independent jury selects one European short film as a candidate.
