EFA Young Audience Award

Let your voice ring out at the young people’s 2017 European Film Award. During this free event your pupils get to watch three feature-length films that have been selected by the prestigious European Film Academy. Then it’s time to vote. Your pupils get to vote in the Young Audience Award at exactly the same time as the young participants from Tbilisi, London and Barcelona. Want to find out more about the subject in class?

16.00 Ma vie de Courgette - Claude Barras

Courgette is no wallflower, he’s a valiant little boy. When he loses his mother, he is sure he is alone in the world. But that’s before he makes his new friends in the children’s home. Simon, Ahmed, Jujube, Alice and Béatrice : they all have their stories and they are equally heartbreaking and tender. But there’s also a girl, Camille. When you’re 10 years old, there is so much to discover – like what it’s like to have a gang of friends, to fall in love, and hey, maybe even to be happy.
