European Film Awards 2018

European Film Awards jury unveils the first round of EFA winners this year:

 

EUROPEAN PRODUCTION DESIGNER 2018:
Andrey Ponkratov for THE SUMMER (LETO)

The production design of Andrey Ponkratov makes us really believe and feel like we are in the middle of an early 80s Leningrad summer at the very beginning of major political changes. The film sets include large open natural locations, small apartments stuffed with people and things and a claustrophobic concert hall perfect for punk rock. The research of the whole art department team supports and underlines the authentic atmosphere of the period.

 

EUROPEAN COSTUME DESIGNER 2018:
Massimo Cantini Parrini for DOGMAN

Massimo Cantini Parrini’s costumes in the style of Italian neo-realism create credible characters with this  aesthetic convention. The costumes serve the film by skillfully merging with photography and production design. The color palette was carefully chosen and well balanced, adding a sense of rough poetry to the film.
