2020 Eurimages Lab Project Awards

The first Eurimages Lab Project Award of the year went to the project “Atlantide”, directed by Italian Yuri Ancarani and produced by Marco Alessi. This film was presented in the framework of the on-line edition of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival Eastern Promises Industry Days.

The jury was composed of the Head of Programming of the Berlinale, Mark Peranson; Romanian filmmaker, Adina Pintilie; Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media (BKM) in Germany, Els Hendrix. Together, they decided to reward "Atlantide" for the unsettling yet fascinating vision of a dying world it brings.

The jury stated: “Using the metaphor of Atlantis, the director’s singular gaze brilliantly synchronises the perspective of teenagers with the sad perspective of a vanishing city. Nevertheless, like contemporary Noah’s arks, the motorboats race across the Venetian lagoon, driven by the energy of youth, in a life-affirming view on a possible future.” The next Eurimages Lab Project Award will be presented during the online special edition of the New Nordic Films 2020 in Haugesund.

Welcome to the Council of Europe Programme Office in Venice

 

I would like to welcome you to the website of the Programme Office of the Council of Europe in Venice. The Programme Office supports Headquarters in the organisation of activities that span from culture and cultural heritage to training on human rights and democracy. I kindly invite you to surf through our website. Here you will find information on our past and present activities, news and articles about the Office and the Council of Europe. Venice is actively involved in Council of Europe activities. Venice is a member of the Council of Europe Intercultural Cities Network. The network supports cities in reviewing their policies through an intercultural lens and developing comprehensive strategies to help them manage diversity positively. Venice is also one of the four Faro Convention laboratories in Europe. Here the Council of Europe is testing how civil society and local authorities put into practice this relatively young Convention on democratic participation to cultural heritage. Venice participates in the Jewish Heritage Route. This important European cultural route certified by the Council of Europe, goes through the city and stops at its 500 years old ghetto and historic Jewish cemetery. In other words, Venice is a workshop and a test site for significant Council of Europe policies and programmes. Furthermore, the European Commission for Democracy through Law - better known as the Venice Commission, as it meets in Venice - is the Council of Europe's advisory body on constitutional matters.
