Since 2007, the European Parliament has been awarding the annual LUX Film Prize with the aim of boosting circulation of European films across European cinemas and encouraging dialogue and discussion on important social issues in all European countries. 

The LUX Film Days project aims to bring the screenings of the finalists (subtitled in the 24 official languages of the EU) of the LUX Film Prize Official Competition closer to European citizens across all 28 countries of the European Union. 

The European Parliament’s LUX Film Prize is a permanent feature of numerous European films festivals, including the Berlin (Berlinale), Cannes (Directors’ Fortnight), Karlovy Vary, Venice (Venice Days), Sofia, Stockholm, Thessaloniki, Vienna (Viennale), Tallinn (Tallinn Black Nights), Cork, Bratislava and Seville film festivals. Starting in 2015, partnership has also been established with the Ljubljana International Film Festival – Liffe.
