Honors focus on artists, not antics
Hey Nineteen: Nearly two decades in, EFAs still tweaking the mix of showbiz & glamour
Europe is an intricate patchwork of histories, cultures and languages constantly threatening to burst at the seams. Consequently, the European film biz must cater to a much more fragmented and contentious audience than Hollywood. When the European Film Academy launched its annual awards show in 1988, the idea was not to create a European Oscar, but to celebrate the plurality of European filmmaking and to provide a platform for the great diversity of European talent and storytelling.

Thomas' film fascination a family tradition
European Achievement in World Cinema
Hailing from a long line of filmmakers stretching back to the early days of the medium, producer Jeremy Thomas thinks of cinema as a "family business" (his father, Ralph, was a key helmer on the "Doctor" series, while uncle Gerald directed the "Carry On" comedies). Thirty years after Thomas' first producing effort, that same business is now acknowledging his impressive career, which has included widely lauded collaborations with directors Bernardo Ber-tolucci and David Cronenberg, in the form of an award for European Achievement in World Cinema.
