Vimeo & European Film Awards

The European Film Academy has partnered with Vimeo to present “Staff Picks,” a curated selection of exceptional short films. Since 2008, the coveted Staff Picks have helped launch the careers of celebrated directors, inspired millions, and built a global community of storytellers.

The cooperation aims to encourage cultural dialogue and showcase the layered richness of short films, encouraging European audiences and film professionals to check back regularly for cinematic and creative inspiration.
