The European Film Academy announces the first winners who will be honored at this year’s 26th European Film Awards. A special seven-member jury convened in Berlin and, based on the EFA Selection list, decided on the winners in the categories cinematography, editing, production design, costume design, composer and sound design. This new addition to the awards procedures follows a decision of the EFA Board to draw more attention to the awards recipients in these categories.
The European Film Academy congratulates the following awards recipients
