European Film Academy Lux Award
The European Film Academy Lux Award is a prize given to a competing film by the European Parliament and the European Film Academy. It is one of the European Film Awards, which were established to recognize excellence in European cinematic achievements. Previously known as the People's Choice Award for Best European Film, it was first awarded in 1997 with Peter Cattaneo's film The Full Monty being the first recipient of the award. It was named Best European Director from 1998 to 2005. It changed to its current name in 2020, when the European Parliament became partly responsible for the management of the award, replacing the former Lux Prize.
