European Film Award as online event, high-resolution LED walls as stage background

Due to the Corona issue, the European Film Awards were presented at an online event. Instead of taking place in Reykjavik as planned, the event was held at the Futurium in Berlin. Two large and high-resolution LED walls provided an appropriate stage background. A live videotalk took place on the small stage, and the winners were video streamed in. The complete award ceremony can be viewed on the site of the European Film Academy.

The tragicomedy The Intoxication by Thomas Vinterberg has been named best European film of the year. This was announced by the European Film Academy at the award ceremony in Berlin. The Danish filmmaker also won the award for best director. The Intoxication tells of four men who get drunk constantly to test the possibilities of alcohol. Vinterberg and his colleague Tobias Lindholm also received the award for Best European Screenplay. Mads Mikkelsen was awarded Best Actor for his role in the film.

Paula Beer won the award for best actress. The 25-year-old won the award for her role in the romantic drama Undine. In director Christian Petzold’s film, she plays a historian who falls in love with an industrial diver (Franz Rogowski).

The European Film Awards are among the most prestigious awards in the industry. The more than 3,800 members of the film academy vote on many award winners, similar to the Oscars in the US.

This time the awards were presented on several evenings in a row. The award ceremony, which was actually planned to take place in Iceland, was cancelled due to the Corona pandemic. Instead, the awards were presented in a digital broadcast from Berlin. Last year, the historical film The Favourite by Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos won the award for best European film.

The AVMS team provided a great stage background with two high-resolution INFiLED DB2.6 LED walls.

Many thanks to the team from the Production Office in Berlin.
