The European Film Academy (EFA) and the Curtas Vila do Conde - International Film Festival congratulate: Vila do Conde Short Film Nominee for the European Film Awards 2014.
The year’s end celebrations are coming. Christmas : the tree, the dinner, the presents. Indian and Cowboy are expecting their presents eagerly. Overexcited by the organization of the Celebration, they fight and destroy the Yule log on which Horse was putting the last touch. Horse is livid and cancels the gifts from Santa Claus. How will they win back the favors of Horse and The Old Bearded Man? How will they retrieve their gifts ? For Indian and Cowboy begins a long, very long Christmas Eve…
The film was chosen by the festival's international jury and is now nominated for the award 'European Film Academy Short Film 2014'. This is already the second nomination for Vincent Patar & Stéphane Aubier after PANIQUE AU VILLAGE's LES VOLEURS DES CARTES episode in 2004. The EFA short film initiative is organised by the European Film Academy in co-operation with a series of film festivals throughout Europe. At each of these festivals, an independent jury presents one of the European short films in competition with a nomination in the short film category of the European Film Awards.
The next nomination for 2014 will be presented in co-operation with the festival del film Locarno. When the annual cycle is completed, the nominees will be presented to the over 3,000 members of the European Film Academy and it is they who will elect the overall winner: the European Film Academy Short Film 2014 which will be presented at the 27th European Film Awards Ceremony on 13 December in Riga.
