SHORT MATTERS !
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. Both the European Film Academy (EFA) and the European Coordination of Film Festivals (ECFF) are 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 fourteen festivals throughout Europe . At each of these film festivals, 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 1,700 European film professionals) select the winner of the European Film Academy Short Film – Prix UIP, an award which is endowed with € 10,000.

Together with the European Coordination of Film Festivals EFA and UIP present "SHORT MATTERS ! European Film Academy Short Film Nominees - Prix UIP Winners on Tour". This programme features the films nominated for the European Film Academy Short Film 2005 – Prix UIP. Starting with Tampere Film Festival (March 8 – 12, 2006), SHORT MATTERS ! will include a series of European festivals (ECFF members) so that a wider public can once again discover the potential of European short films and their directors.
