The Festival Awards Europe by Europe
🏆 Rewarding works that challenge, enlighten and connect
At Europe by Europe, awards are not showcase trophies. They are intended as levers of recognition, acts of trust, and sometimes even acts of cultural resistance.
Each prize reflects a facet of our commitment: to defend a free, diverse, audacious cinema, which comes from Europe… but above all which speaks to the world.
🐺 The Prix SAUVAGE — Best Feature Film
The Prix SAUVAGE is the festival’s historic prize, awarded since 2012.
It rewards the best European feature-length fiction film from a selection of new films produced in the two years preceding the edition.
Its name — SAUVAGE — pays homage to an untamed cinema, off the beaten track, deeply auteurist, singular, and always free.
🔹 Number of films in competition : 9
🔹 Criteria : originality of vision, formal mastery, European roots
🔹 Jury : composed of European cinema professionals
🌙 The Prix LUNA — Jury of young film professionals
Created to engage a new generation of critical perspectives, the Prix LUNA is awarded by a jury of young professionals from the fields of cinema, criticism, production, or programming.
This prize is rooted in a desire for intergenerational transmission and the detection of new talents, giving a voice to those who will make the European cinema of tomorrow.
🔹 Eligible works : the same as for the Prix SAUVAGE
🔹 Objective : cross emerging sensitivity with disruptive works
🎥 The Prix PRESENT — Best Documentary
Created in 2015, the Prix PRESENT recognizes the best European documentary. It is aimed at films that explore the present in all its dimensions: social, historical, political, environmental, and personal.
An award for filmmakers who document differently, who invent forms to better convey reality.
🔹 Number of films in competition : 9
🔹 Formats : documentary creation, essay, hybridizations
🔹 Criteria : relevance of the gaze, commitment of the subject, aesthetic quality
⚡ The Prix E-MOTION — Youth Jury of the European Movement of Paris
The Prix E-MOTION is awarded by a youth jury composed of high school and university students, in partnership with the European Movement of Paris.
This prize encourages a civic and European reading of the documentary, in line with the values of democracy, culture and transnational dialogue.
🔹 Films in competition : same selection as the Prix PRESENT
🔹 Objective : promote education in image and European citizenship
🔹 Partner : European Movement of Paris
🎞️ The Prix SAUVAGE CORTO — Best European Short Film
Created in 2019, the Prix SAUVAGE CORTO rewards the best European short film, all forms combined: fiction, documentary, experimental, animation.
In just a few editions, it has become an essential springboard for young European creation.
🔹 Criteria : narrative audacity, formal freedom, clarity of purpose
🔹 Maximum duration : 30 minutes
🔹 Number of films in competition : 15 to 20 per edition
🐾 The Prix LUPETO — European Student Jury
Awarded by a jury of students from European film academies and schools, the Prix LUPETO (the little wolf) is the youth equivalent of the Prix SAUVAGE CORTO.
It allows us to combine critical enthusiasm, a variety of training and a sensitive approach to the image.
This prize is also a networking tool, where young jurors discover films together, exchange ideas, debate, and sometimes meet the authors.
🌀 Prizes and Europe: more than a prize list, a cultural policy
Our awards embody a vision of European cinema: free in its forms, plural in its voices, open in its stories, political in its perspectives.
And this is why they also have a symbolic function: to support a cinema of diversity, an auteur cinema, a transnational cinema. A cinema that questions and connects.
