European Film Academy Short Film Nominees - Prix UIP Winners on Tour

The short film is a genre allowing creative experiments and provocation – and it is often a first stepping stone in a young filmmaker’s career. The European Film Academy (EFA) is supporting the short film as a genre through which a new generation of filmmakers develops and finds its way into the future of European cinema.

The Prix UIP is an initiative by UIP and the European Film Academy in co-operation with film festivals throughout Europe. At each of the film festivals (thirteen in 2007), EFA and UIP present a Prix UIP which includes a donation of € 2,000 and an automatic nomination in the short film category of the European Film Awards. Out of the nominated films, the EFA members (currently 1,800 European film professionals) select the winner of the European Film Academy Short Film – Prix UIP, an award which is endowed with € 10,000.

In 2003, EFA and UIP initiated the "SHORT MATTERS! tour together with the European Coordination of Film Festivals (ECFF): SHORT MATTERS! brings last year’s nominees to a series of European film festivals so that a wider public can once again discover the potential of European short films and their directors.

This programme features the films nominated for the European Film Academy Short Film 2007 – Prix UIP including the film which won in the end: ALUMBRAMIENTO by Eduardo Chapero-Jackson from Spain.
