The EFA opens vote for the People’s Choice Award
The Lobster by Yorgos Lanthimos

Every year, the EFA People's Choice Award allows film fans across Europe to elect their favourite film. When the European Film Academy invites its members, Europe's greatest film stars, directors, actors and actresses, to attend the European Film Awards, the People's Choice Award shines a spotlight on the people that films are made for: the audience.

This year's vote has just started and will end on 31 October. Voters - who can cast their vote on the EFA's official website - will have the chance to join the winners and nominees for the awards ceremony on 10 December in Wroclaw, Poland, European Capital of Culture 2016.
