"Sentimental Value" was the top winner at the European Film Awards on Saturday, with the family drama directed by Joachim Trier taking home prizes for film, director, screenplay, music, and performances by Stellan Skarsgård and Renate Reinsve.
Oliver Laxe's dark road movie "Sirât" won the most awards in the craft categories, including casting, cinematography, editing, production design, and sound.
However, "Sentimental Value" took the biggest awards in the main categories, winning six honors and becoming the night's biggest winner.
The ceremony was held on Saturday evening in Seville, Spain.
It was produced by British filmmaker and historian Mark Cousins. The event started with a message from Iranian director Jafar Panahi, who asked artists to speak out against injustices, like the deaths of protesters in his country.
Panahi said, "If we are disappointed with politicians, we must at least refuse to remain silent.
Because silence in a time of crime is not neutrality. Silence is a participation in darkness."
The nominees for best European film included five entries that are also in the Academy Awards' Best International Feature Film category.
These films are Norway's "Sentimental Value," France's "It Was Just an Accident," Spain's "Sirât," Germany's "Sound of Falling," and Tunisia's "The Voice of Hind Rajab."
"Arco" won the animated feature award, and the documentary prize went to "Fiume o Morte!"
In the craft categories, "Sirât" won the most awards, including casting, editing, production design, and sound.
"Bugonia" won for make-up and hair, and "Sound of Falling" won for costume design.
Honorary awards were given to actress Liv Ullmann, director Alice Rohrwacher, and Komplizen Film producers Maren Ade, Jonas Dornbach, and Janine Jackowski.
Going into the ceremony, "Sirât" had the most nominations with nine (including those for Excellence Awards in the craft categories), followed by "Sentimental Value" with eight, "Sound of Falling" with seven, "Bugonia" with five (but no best film nomination), and "It Was Just an Accident" with four.
It's worth noting that no European Film Award winner for best film has ever won the Oscar for Best Picture.
However, seven of them have been nominated, including four in the last six years.
