Schade ist, dass so wenige europäische Zeitungsartikel auf ihr Finanzierungsproblem eingehen, weil die meisten Artikel wohl schon als Lückentexte fertig vorlagen. Da lobe ich mir doch neben dem Branchenblatt THR, das sowieso schon mit dem Problem vertraut war, dass "Lokalblatt" 'Berliner Zeitung'. Die können mehr als nur Thomas-Shaw-Leaks veröffentlichen.

The Square triumphs with six prizes at European film awards

The Square, a surreal, freaky and at times difficult to watch satire set in the world of contemporary art, has dominated the 30th anniversary of the European film awards.
The film followed up the Palme d’Or it took at Cannes by taking six awards at a ceremony in Berlin for prizes that aim to be the European arthouse equivalent of the Oscars.
There was also British success with the 19th-century Northumberland-set dark drama Lady Macbeth winning the evening’s discovery prize.
Stephen Frears, presenting the award to first-time film director William Oldroyd, said sorry to the audience. “I come from a country so stupid we want to leave Europe,” he said. “I apologise for the trouble we’ve caused.”
The troubles of Europe, whether Brexit or the rise of nationalism, were a recurring theme for speakers at the ceremony, as was the continuing scandal of sexual harassment in the film industry.

But there was fun too. The Swedish film-maker Ruben Östlund, twice led the audience in a loud “primal screen of happiness” as he accepted awards for The Square for best director and best film.
The French actor and director Julie Delpy was given a European achievement in world cinema, a prize previously won by actors and film-makers including Helen Mirren, Isabelle Huppert, Lars von Trier and Steve McQueen.
She was heartfelt in her thanks, saying she was getting it for “surviving” in the business, including 20 years of having doors slammed in her face before she could direct her first film aged 36.
Delpy told the audience about her worst professional disappointment, the withdrawal of finance for her latest film, My Zoe, at the last minute.
“I’m not giving up,” she said. She said needed €600,000 quickly so announced a raffle, with first prize breakfast with Delpy the next day.
“It will be entertaining. I can talk about art, film, science, history, politics, architecture, cooking, I’ll be funny if you want, I can cry ... anything, anything to make my film.”
The audience whooped and the ceremony presenter offered €100 euros for starters.
Some asked whether the Russian auteur Aleksandr Sokurov, who won a lifetime achievement award, might top Östlund and Delpy by leading the audience in a giant conga out of the Berliner Festspiele and into the freezing night air. He didn’t.
The six awards won by The Square were best film, best comedy, best director, best screenwriter, production design, and best actor for Dane Claes Bang, who plays the stylish but weird gallery director.
The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw called it a sprawling and daringly surreal satire. “The Square turns a contemporary art museum into a city-state of bizarre, dysfunctional and Ballardian strangeness,” he said.
The Russian film Loveless won two awards for best cinematography and music; and Hungarian Alexandra Borbély won best actress for her portrayal of an abattoir worker who embarks on an unusual affair with her boss in the film On Body and Soul.
Other awards included best documentary going to the Polish film Communion and best animated feature to Loving Vincent, a Van Gogh film by the Polish-British wife and husband Dorota Kobiela and Hugh Welchman.
The European Film awards were founded in Berlin in 1988 as an arthouse alternative to the Oscars, with Krzysztof Kieślowski’s A Short Film About Killing winning the first best film award.
The European Film Academy president, Wim Wenders, gave an emotional speech, recalling the 1980s when making films in a horribly divided Europe often felt like fighting lonely battles.

Europe had come a long way since then but he said he was furious today because of “an old monster that we thought we had buried, called nationalism ... the oldest and worse European disease. How can it possibly creep back into our present tense?”
Wenders asked whether pro-Europeans had allowed problems to happen, allowing the myth to perpetuate that Europe was all about bureaucracy and the economy: “Greed and growth. Europe is built on much better walls, more solid ones than money. It is built on glorious ideas on who we are as humans, who we are as social and cultural beings. Are we fighting enough for these ideals? Did we? Will we?”
He said the EFA sometimes felt like a Noah’s Ark, a safe haven, and the strength of European film offered great promise for the future of Europe against the “simplifiers, the oligarchs, the enemies of freedom whether they sit in Washington, Moscow or Tehran”.
There was also a passionate call for the release from a Russian jail of the Ukrainian film maker Oleg Sentsov. A letter of support by the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, who was in the audience, was read out.

Palme d’Or Winner ‘The Square’ Sweeps European Film Awards
By Elsa Keslassy
Cannes’ Palme d’Or winner “The Square,” directed by Ruben Ostlund, scooped the best European film, comedy, script, director, and actor prizes at the 30th European Film Awards ceremony, which took place Saturday night in Berlin.
“We wanted to say something important, but we also wanted it to be entertaining and exciting – I think it’s part of a European approach,” said Ostlund upon receiving the prize for best European comedy. The provocative Swedish helmer cited “Toni Erdmann,” last year’s big winner at the European Film Awards, as another film that uses comedy to say something meaningful about humankind and society.
Robin Campillo’s critically acclaimed “BPM (Beats Per Minute),” the winner of Cannes’ Grand Jury Prize, took home best editing out of several nominations.
Alexandra Borbely (“On Body and Soul”) won best actress, beating out French stars Isabelle Huppert (“Happy End”) and Juliette Binoche (“Bright Sunshine In”), as well as Florence Pugh (“Lady Macbeth”) and Paula Beer (“Frantz”).
Claes Bang won the best actor prize for his turn in “The Square.” The film’s production designer, Josefin Asberg, also won in her category.
The European Discovery Award went to William Oldroyd’s “Lady Macbeth,” while the EFA People’s Choice Award was given to Maria Shrader’s “Stefan Zweig – Farewell to Europe.”
As last year, the European Film Awards ceremony was politically charged. Wim Wenders, who presides over the European Film Academy, addressed the persistent rise of populism across the continent in his speech.
“It is the oldest and worst European disease. How could it possibly creep back in our present times? How could these populist [politicians] with their lies threaten to kill our proudest dreams?,” said Wenders on stage.
“When I look at Europe, I still see a great promise with a touch of utopia. Europe is still a save haven. Europe is not a problem; Europe is a solution. Let’s defend it with all our convictions,” Wenders said.
The #Metoo movement was also discussed during the ceremony by Rebecca O’Brien, the illustrious British producer of Ken Loach’s films, along with other prominent female figures of the European industry.
“We have to listen and learn from the people we work with. The fire started in our industry and if we’re clever there is nothing to stop us too from leading by example and turning the world the right way up again. Come on, ladies!” said O’Brien.
O’Brien also suggested the launch of a “sort of help line” so that people could find a “safe haven” for complaints.
One of the ceremony’s highlights was the lifetime tribute to Julie Delpy, who received the European Achievement in World Cinema for her rich and diverse career in front and behind the camera.
Delpy said her biggest achievement had been “to survive in this business for 30-something years.” She then took everyone by surprise when she declared she was launching a lottery this evening to raise 600,000 euros to gap-finance her next film (which was supposed to shoot in a few months in Berlin) by Dec. 15. and was willing to have breakfast tomorrow with whoever would put money in her film and would even auction roles in order to lure potential investors. Delpy said the initial financiers pulled out of the projects three weeks before pre-production because they were afraid of “emotional” female directors like her.
Delpy’s frequent collaborator and co-star, Ethan Hawke, delivered a moving speech via recorded video, telling the award-winning filmmaker and actress that he had never met anyone like her.
“You have done everything you dreamed of….You’ve never taken a ‘no’ for an answer; your voice as a writer is completely original and authentic. Your work as an actor is always blistering, intense and beautiful,” said Hawke. “It’s been an absolute privilege to work with you three times as actor and writer and it’s thrilling to watch you as a filmmaker.”
