Cannes: Camera d'Or and CICAE prize for films by PRODUCERS ON THE MOVE 2008

The Un Certain Regard opening film Hunger, which was produced by Laura Hastings-Smith won the Camera d'Or Award in Cannes last Sunday, while producer Marko Škop's Blind Loves, which competed in the Directors' Fortnight section, was honoured with the CICAE prize. The CICAE prize is presented by the International Confederation of Art Cinemas, an international jury composed of independent cinema operators. Both awarded films are first feature-length films, Hunger being directed by Steve McQueen and Blind Loves by Juraj Lehotsky.

Laura Hastings-Smith (UK) and Marko Škop (Slovakia) both participated in EFP's PRODUCERS ON THE MOVE programme in Cannes this year. Together with 20 other selected promising and talented young producers from all over Europe, they benefited from EFP´s promotional programme which is financially supported by the MEDIA Programme of the European Union, the EFP member organisations and sponsors.
