On the occasion of the Spoleto56 Festival dei 2Mondi, the European Film Academy will hold its official selection meeting in the Umbrian city. The meeting is held annually to June to draw up the shortlist, which is a list of about 40 films proposed to the more than 2,800 EFA members who vote for nominees and, subsequently, for the winners of the annual European Film Awards. This year's 26th awards ceremony will be held to Berlin on Dec. 7.
