Lux Audience Week
The three nominated films are:
- 'Flee' by Jonas Poher Rasmussen
- 'Great Freedom' by Sebastian Meise
- 'Quo Vadis, Aida?’ by Jasmila Žbanić
Organised by the European Parliament and the European Film Academy in partnership with the European Commission and Europa Cinema, the Lux Audience Awards shed light on films that go to the heart of the European public debate with the objective of building cultural bridges across European audiences.
Given the unprovoked attack of Ukraine by Russia, this edition of the Lux Audience Award calls upon European audiences to stand together, show solidarity and participate in the debates on European values.

About the Lux Audience Award
LUX – The European Audience Film Award (short: LUX Audience Award) was introduced in 2020 and is presented every year by the European Parliament and the European Film Academy, in partnership with the European Commission and Europa Cinemas.
The award is built on the former LUX Prize, the film prize of the European Parliament established in 2007 as a symbol of the European Parliament’s commitment to culture, and the European Film Academy’s People’s Choice Award. It continues to build cultural bridges across Europe, in line with the original LUX Prize objectives, by shedding light on films that go to the heart of the European public debate.
The award aims to strengthen ties between politics and citizens, by inviting European audiences to become active protagonists and cast their vote for their favourite films.
