The European Film Awards on 7 December at Lucerne Culture and Congress Centre (KKL Lucerne) are the highlight of this European film year. In the region of 1,200 guests are expected to attend the occasion. The awards will be broadcast live in Switzerland and throughout Europe.
The European Film Awards have recognised the top performers of the European film industry every year since 1988. They take place every other year in Berlin and move around Europe in the other years: to such cities as London, Paris, Rome, Barcelona and Reykjavík and now for the first time in Switzerland, to Lucerne.
