After this year's December edition, the EFAs will skip a year to reposition in the awards calendar.
“With the European Film Awards moving a month later to the beginning of the calendar year, European nominees and winners will be featured much more visibly within the international awards season including the Oscars,” the European Film Academy said in a statement Tuesday, announcing the date change.
“The decision of the board to re-position the European Film Awards after almost four decades in December marks a fundamentally positive change as the event finally lands where it should be: front and center in the heart of the awards season, where it can create maximum impact for European candidates, as well as enhance the Academy’s role as a significant player in the global awards game,” said Downey.
“It’s time for the European Film Awards to take a step up,” said Knol. “The date change automatically means a prolongation of our new initiative Month of European Film, the season at the end of the calendar year during which the Academy celebrates European cinema in 45 countries simultaneously.”
