Three Romanian Production Shortlisted For Prix Europa 2008

The shortlist for Prix Europa 2008, which awards the best European TV, radio and emergent media productions, includes "Testimony/ Testimonial" by Razvan Georgescu competing in the TV Documentary category, “The Barber of Seville”/ "Barbierul din Sevilla" by Iulia Rugina, directed by Toma Enache, and “Ion Gavrila Ogoranu -How I asked for my death sentence”/ “Ion Gavrila Ogoranu - Cum mi-am cerut condamnarea la moarte” by Costin Manoliu, directed by Mihai Lungeanu, competing in the “Radio Documentary” category.

Prix Europa is an annual forum that reunites the representatives of the media industry, and over 1,000 professionals from 40 countries attended the event in 2007.

The competition is open to broadcasters and producers and accessible to media professionals from all over Europe. The competition’s eight categories are TV Fiction, TV Documentary, TV Current Affairs, TV Iris for multicultural programs, Prix Genève-Europe for the best fiction script, Radio Fiction, Radio Documentary and Emerging Media, a special category for online productions.

Prix Europa is a competition with a unique judging system, that encourages the exchanges between foreign journalists, media producers and managers, and the winners are selected by an extended jury and not by a small group of people.

At the end of the festival, 12 productions will receive Euro 6,000 each and an official Prix Europa trophy.

Prix Europa Alliance 2008 has 25 partner organisations – broadcasters and European groups -, after five new partners joined the Alliance during 2007. Among those there are EBU, ARTE, FranceTélévisions, Magyar Televízió, Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, Österreichischer Rundfunk ORF - Radio Österreich 1, Radio France, RTÉ, Telewizja Polska - TVP.

The competition was launched in 1987, by the Council of Europe and the European Cultural Foundation, and is organised under the umbrella of the European Parliament and the Council of Europe. The European Broadcasters Union joined the Alliance in 2002.
