‘The Luminous Wound’, a short film produced by ESCAC Films, nominated for the EFA
The short film, a final degree project produced by ESCAC Films, has been selected for 60 festivals and won awards at more than ten (including seven A-list festivals such as the Berlin Film Festival).
On this occasion, it has been nominated for Best European Short Film at the 38th European Film Awards. The category is organised by the European Film Academy in cooperation with a number of film festivals across Europe. At each of these festivals, an independent jury nominated one of the European short films in competition. Members of the European Film Academy will now vote for the overall winners, who will be presented at the awards ceremony on 9 December in Berlin.
Synopsis
Teenagers hungry for sunshine embark on a journey to the Balearic Islands in search of light and warmth. They must absorb it and become the means of transport to carry it back to their gloomy native Kingdom.
