During the LUX Film Days, film lovers will have the chance to watch them for free and pick their favorite. Meanwhile, the winner of this year's LUX Prize, chosen by MEPs, will be announced during the plenary session in Strasbourg on November 24.

Short-listed films

The finalists competing for the 2015 LUX Film Prize are: "Mediterranea," "Mustang" and "Urok" ("The Lesson"). The three films deal with current social issues such as migration, the position of women and girls, education and economic hardship.

The screenings started this month in Lithuania and Portugal and will continue throughout November and December. In many cases the screenings take place in cooperation with film festivals. For most countries, the screenings are also national premieres.

In the UK the films can be seen at the Barbican in London on November 16, 17 and 18 and the Screen Machine will show them in Lochgilphead on October 30 and in Brodick on November 8. In Ireland they can be seen as part of the Cork Film Festival on November 11. Details for other EU countries will be announced on the LUX Prize website.

Viewers can vote for their favorite film and one of them will be invited to the 2016 Karlovy Vary Film Festival to announce the result of the popular vote. To participate visit the official website of the LUX Prize.

About the LUX Prize

The LUX Prize is awarded every year by the European Parliament to promote European films, values and social issues.

The European Parliament is a model – and a symbol – of cultural diversity. Its very make-up reflects Europe’s multiplicity of cultures and languages. With 751 seats, the European Parliament is the world’s largest international parliamentary body. It is also the most diverse: its members represent 28 member states and speak 24 languages in addition to regional and minority languages.

The Parliament’s legislative powers make it a crucial player in the shaping of EU policies. Its remit covers key issues such as immigration, integration, poverty and freedom of expression and thought.

The LUX Film Prize is an innovative way to explore major European policy areas such as immigration, integration, poverty and violence against women.
