Xavier Beauvois’ LE PETIT LIEUTENANT was awarded the Europa Cinemas Label by a jury of four Europa Cinemas exhibitors at the second Giornate degli Autori-Venice Days section at the Venice Film Festival. This marks the second year that the Europa Cinemas Label has been awarded to the Best European film in the Giornate degli Autori-Venice Days at Venice, and complements the Labels awarded at the Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes and the Panorama section of the Berlin Film Festival.
LE PETIT LIEUTENANT will receive the strong support of extended theatrical exposure and additional promotion from the Europa Cinemas network - 1.420 screens in 600 cinemas in 322 cities across 51 countries.
The Venice Days’ jury consisted of Henk Camping (Exhibitor, Filmtheatre’t Hoogt, Utrecht, Netherlands); Matthias Brunner (Exhibitor, Arthouse Commercio Movie AG, Zurich, Switzerland); Salvatore Cordaro (Exhibitor, Aurora and Igiea Cinemas, Palermo, Italy) and Mattias Nohrborg, Distributor and Exhibitor (Triangelfilm, Malmo, Sweden).
The jury issued the following statement about the winning film: “This is a powerful, unpretentious drama which gives a perspective not seen before of everyday life in a police station. The ensemble cast of actors is remarkable, and Xavier Beauvois is clearly one of the most talented French directors around.”
