Young Talent Programme

The LUX Audience Award Young Talent Programme offers an exciting opportunity for young professionals in the film industry.

The European Parliament and Europa Cinemas select one young professional per EU country through an open application process.

The selected candidates attend an enriching training programme at the European Parliament in Strasbourg. They also have the opportunity to attend the official launch of the new LUX Audience Award edition and announcement of the five nominated films.

The programme includes informative sessions with key partners, stakeholders, and relevant film organisations (filmmakers, distributors, producers, critics, etc.) and trainings provided by the European Parliament and partners.

Main objectives of the Young Talent Programme:

Promote the LUX Audience Award: Increase awareness of the LUX Audience Award and its five nominated European films among audiences across the EU.

Engage Young Professionals: Provide opportunities for young professionals in the film industry to actively contribute to the promotion of European cinema.

Create Synergies to Strengthen European Cinema: Facilitate collaboration between national cinemas, European Parliament Liaison Offices, and local communities to enhance cultural dialogue and understanding.
