The EFA Excellence Awards Winners 2020

09.12.2020

Back

This year’s European Film Awards (EFAs) are presented for the first time as a series of virtual events. Tonight’s “EFAs at Eight” were moderated by EFA President Wim Wenders and EFA Director Marion Döring and saw the announcement of the Excellence Awards winners 2020. A special eight-member jury had convened online and decided on the winners in the categories European Cinematography, Editing, Production Design, Costume Design, Make-up & Hair, Original Score, Sound, and Visual Effects. They based their decisions on the EFA Feature Film Selection 2020 and individual recommendations from the selection committee for the EFA Documentary Selection.

The European Film Academy and EFA Productions congratulate the following awards recipients:

 

EUROPEAN CINEMATOGRAPHY 2020:

Matteo Cocco for HIDDEN AWAY


Using light, colour and composition, Matteo Cocco builds up the unique world of Italy's celebrated Naive painter and sculptor Antonio Ligabue. The beauty and originality of the film’s tender images lead us into Antonio's instinctual and raw emotional world. In this atmospheric film, Matteo combines amazing impressionistic landscape and architecture shots with incredibly haptic and sensual portraits of the protagonist as he leans into a horse’s soft fur, follows a cockroach running across the earthen floor or dances with a turkey to an audience of country kids.

 

EUROPEAN EDITING 2020:

Maria Fantastica Valmori for ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH


This documentary is considerably indebted to the editing. It consists almost entirely of grainy black and white archive film and each shot has been chosen with great care. Maria Fantastica Valmori skilfully edits the images of a train travelling across Europe towards the frontline and pictures of comrades-in-arms with scenes of past happiness but also death and destruction in a war-torn Europe. The archive used, no doubt chosen from many hours of material both amateur and professional, is absolutely vital in telling the film's story.

 

EUROPEAN PRODUCTION DESIGN 2020:

Cristina Casali for THE PERSONAL HISTORY OF DAVID COPPERFIELD


The world of David Copperfield is not an ordinary period film. It’s a modern approach filled with textures, colours and infinite details that mingle with both the costume and make-up department, creating a solid and consistent visual experience that feels realistic and believable although splashed with fantasy.

 

EUROPEAN COSTUME DESIGN 2020:

Ursula Patzak for HIDDEN AWAY


There is a lot of detail in the costumes in HIDDEN AWAY. Ursula Patzak has created realistic and creative costumes that support and carry the plot but never draw your attention away. That’s the art of costume design. Efficient yet discreet, her costumes leave all the room that is necessary for the story to unfold.

 

EUROPEAN MAKE-UP & HAIR 2020:

Yolanda Piña, Félix Terrero & Nacho Diaz for THE ENDLESS TRENCH


Some of the finest heavy hair- and make-up work can serve to tell a story without the viewer even noticing it. That takes skills, patience and precise ideas.

Such make-up and hair work is made by Yolanda Piña, Felix Terrero and Nacho Diaz in THE ENDLESS TRENCH.

In the movie, we accompany Higino and Rosa more than three decades - the aging of the characters is fluid, impressive and highly believable. Not once does it interrupt your viewing experience and you really feel time passing in the narrow space.

 

EUROPEAN ORIGINAL SCORE 2020:

Dascha Dauenhauer for BERLIN ALEXANDERPLATZ


The score in BERLIN ALEXANDERPLATZ makes use of the entire spectrum of film music – from big orchestral arrangements to chamber-like strings, electronic and immersive sounds to pop music. Dascha Dauenhauer’s impressive score blends perfectly with the sound design and continuously propels the story forwards. 

 

EUROPEAN SOUND 2020:

Yolande Decarsin & Kristian Selin Eidnes Andersen for LITTLE GIRL


Yolande Decarsin’s location sound and Kristian Selin Eidnes Andersen’s sound design in the documentary LITTLE GIRL achieve something that is almost impossible: Very gently and delicately, it takes you into the life of little Sasha and her family. You no longer feel as if you are watching something from the outside but as if you were there as the kids get ready for school, sitting with them in their garden, or joining them for lunch.

 

 

EUROPEAN VISUAL EFFECTS 2020:

Iñaki Madariaga for THE PLATFORM


The well-crafted visual effects in THE PLATFORM create a very dark and immersive environment. They help the story just like the central platform that goes into infinity above and below. Thanks to the visual effects by Iñaki Madariaga, the platform becomes an entity of its own. The creativity of the solution is simple yet astonishing in its minimalistic expression which creates an unforgettable emotional and visual experience.
