15 Films in EFA Documentary Selection 2017

It is with great pleasure that the European Film Academy and EFA Productions announce the EFA Documentary Selection, a list of 15 European documentaries recommended for a nomination for this year's European Film Awards.

Ten documentary festivals have recommended to the committee one film each which has had its world premiere at the respective festival’s latest edition. Chosen in co-operation with the European Documentary Network EDN, these festivals are:

•   IDFA (Netherlands)
•   CPH:DOX (Denmark)
•   Visions du Réel (Switzerland)
•   DokLeipzig (Germany)
•   Docslisboa (Portugal)
•   Thessaloniki Documentary Film Festival (Greece)
•   Jihlava (Czech Republic)
•   Cinéma du Réel (France)
•   Krakow Film Festival (Poland)
•   Sheffield Doc/Fest (UK)

Based on their recommendations and the films individually submitted, the documentary committee, consisting of EFA Board Members Roberto Cicutto (Italy), Vanessa Henneman (Netherlands) and Marek Rozenbaum (Israel), commissioning editor Sari Volanen (YLE, Finland) and documentary expert Paul Pauwels (European Documentary Network, Belgium) decided on the EFA Documentary Selection.

EFA Members will now vote for five documentary nominations. Based on these nominations, the EFA Members will then elect the ‘European Documentary 2017’ which will be announced during the awards ceremony on 9 December in Berlin
