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:
… for his intuitive camerawork, both realistic and poetic, studying the characters with tenderness in an environment unknown to most of us - by sensitively lighting them he provides us with deep insight into their psychology and emotions:

ASAF SUDRY for LEMALE ET HA’HALAL (Fill the Void)
Israel
… for an editing which continuously stimulates the senses and creates a weave of endless meanings in the storytelling:
EUROPEAN EDITOR 2013 - CRISTIANO TRAVAGLIOLI
for LA GRANDE BELLEZZA (The Great Beauty)

… for a production design that acts as if it were a character itself - dramaturgically integrated and contributing essentially to the film’s story and style:
EUROPEAN PRODUCTION DESIGNER 2013 - SARAH GREENWOOD

… for proving once again his extraordinary capacity of always renewing his style while remaining faithful to the style of the director and the film – a universal composer, indeed, and a true master:
