by Dutch director Johan Timmers as the winner of the 2019 EFA Young Audience Award.

Having watched the three nominated films, 2,800 young cinema-lovers across Europe had the opportunity to discuss the films before electing their favourite. The results were then reported via video conference to Erfurt (Germany) where former YAA juror Ivana Noa from Belgium moderated the award ceremony. Transmitted online as a live stream, the ceremony will remain available as VOD on the initiative's website.

The YAA continues to include various platforms for the general public to watch the nominated films: EFA Productions, EFA's in-house production company, brings the EFA Young Audience Award films out Europe-wide on Video-on-Demand (T-VoD) platforms, like iTunes, Google Play, Microsoft and Pantaflix, on the regional Balkan-platform Cinesquare, as well as on local platforms like Filmin. EFA Productions teamed up with Under The Milky Way for this initiative with the support of Creative Europe - Media Programme of the European Union, to make the nominated films available for young viewers all year around. Those who could not participate in the EFA Young Audience Award event now have the possibility to watch the nominated films online. Find out where to watch them here.
