Milking the audience: Francesco Scianna in Baaria
Every year the European Film Academy asks film-goers to become an electorate. They have the chance to vote on their favourite film for the People’s Choice Award. Last year they plumped for Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire. Previous winners include Volver, Life is Beautiful and Amélie. Which film will it be in 2010? You decide.
This year the winner will be picked from one of 10 very disparate films - the candidates include a French cartoon, a British political thriller, Swedish fantasy and an Italian domestic comedy. Not all have yet been released in the UK. Have a look at theartsdesk's What's On Calendar for information on forthcoming releases. Below is a list of the candidates. Where available, click on the link to read theartsdesk review and then cast your vote on the EFA’s website.
  • Agora, dir. Alejandro Amenábar
  • Baaría, dir. Giuseppe Tornatore
  • An Education, dir. Lone Scherfig
