(Denmark/France/Norway/Sweden), was crowned Director of the Year. Premiered at last year’s Sundance, the film has already made history for being the first nominated in all three major categories at the Academy Awards (Best International Feature, Best Documentary, Best Animated Feature). It follows a man called Amin Nawabi, who, on the verge of marrying his husband, shares his story about his hidden past fleeing his home country of Afghanistan to Denmark as a refugee.

Finally, the Eurimages Co-Production Development Award – consisting of a cash prize of €20,000 – went to Melvile, co-directed by Romain Renard and Fursy Teyssier and produced by Belgium’s Need Productions, along with French outfits Creative Touch Studios and Special Touch Studios. The jury was impressed by the “dark and intricate story which fully immersed them in the world of the protagonist.” They also argued that the filmmakers have devised a new method of animation, called ‘charcoalisation’ which successfully serves the artistic vision of Renard, author of the original graphic novel. In detail, the story follows Paul Rivest, who returns to the titular town after 25 years. He knows the place pretty well, having spent all his summer vacations there as a child with his grandmother. Feeling responsible for the death of his first love and his best friend in a fire that destroyed the region the summer of his 15th birthday, his return to Melvile forces him to stir up the past. As Paul discovers the real reasons for Ruth and Thomas’s death, his stay turns into a nightmare because the town is not done with him.
