This year's LUX film prize went to French move "Les neiges du Kilimandjaro". Jerzy Buzek awarded the prize during a ceremony on 16 November during the plenary ceremony in Strasbourg. Director Robert Guédiguian couldn't attend and producer Marc Bordure attended on his behalf.
MEPs began viewing the three nominees for the 2011 LUX prize 11 October - the other two nominees were "Attenberg", by Athina Rachel Tsangari and "Play" by Ruben Östlund. Votes were cast by 10 November.
Since 2007, the LUX Prize has been a tangible expression of Parliament's belief in the creativity and talent in Europe's film industry, in its ability to reflect the wealth and diversity of European culture, and its capacity to stimulate reflection and debate on Europe, its values and its future. Each year three films are shortlisted for the award.
The prize is in the form of funding the cost of subtitling the winning film into the 23 official languages of the EU and of its adaptation for the visually or hearing impaired. It also includes the production of a 35 mm print for each country.
News and updates about the prize and the films in the competition can be found on the official LUX Prize website.
