    Established in 2007, the Lux Prize pursues two main objectives: spotlighting the public debate in and on the European Union and its policies, and supporting circulation of European coproductions within the Union. This year Paweł Pawlikowski’s Ida, Céline Sciamma’s Girlhood, and Rok Biček’s Class Enemy are competing for the Lux Prize.

    Sciamma's film received in Miskolc, Hungary the Jameson CineFest's ecumenical prize this year, Biček's Class Enemy got the festival's main prize (pictured the director with the Emeric Pressburger plaque). 16 December is the final deadline for the parliament members to get their votes in. Which of the three finalists will conquer the hearts of such a special jury? The award ceremony will be held in the Plenary Chamber in Strasbourg on 17 December.
