| Which will be Europe's best fantastic film? |
In existence since 1996, the Méliès d’Or Award is a unique competition: it is the only competition organised between collaborating festivals in Europe. The competition is open to both features and short films. The Méliès d’Or Competition for features is organised by all the affiliated members of the European Fantastic Film Festivals Federation. Each Competition cycle takes approximately one year and is organised in two stages.In the first stage, each participating festival organises a Competition during its event, at the end of which a European film is awarded with a Méliès d’Argent. This film is automatically nominated to take part in the Méliès d’Or Competition. Once all the affiliated members have awarded their own Méliès d’Argent, the next festival on the calendar organises the Méliès d’Or Competition and Ceremony. For that competition, an international jury (with as many members as there are affiliated members) is gathered, their task is to decide which of the 10 Méliès d’Argent will be awarded with the Méliès d’Or.The Méliès d’Or Competition for shorts is organised in the same way as the Competition for features, but is open to all the European members of the Federation. The films selected by each festival are called “Méliès d’Or Nominees”. The Méliès d’Or for shorts is awarded by the same jury as for the features. With the organisation of a Méliès d'Or competition, the Federation intends to highlight the quality and originality of European cinema and to guide the renewal of the genre film on the entire continent, whether in Spain, France, the Scandinavian countries, England…The European Federation of Fantastic Film Festivals also sees itself as a solid network of festivals, facilitating the circulation of films between its members. Today counting 21 members from 16 countries, each member functioning as a national antenna, the Federation aims to become an important, even essential, pole in the cultural and economic circuit of European fantastic film. The 13th Méliès d'Or Ceremony will take place in Sithes, Spain, in September 2009 The Méliès Competition is held with support from EU's MEDIA-Program |
