The three films competing for the 2015 LUX Prize were announced on in Rome by EP Vice-President Antonio Tajani and culture committee chair Silvia Costa, at the Venice Days press conference. The films are: Mediterranea by Jonas Carpignano (Italy, United States, Germany, France, Qatar), Mustang, by Deniz Gamze Ergüven (France, Germany, Turkey, Qatar) and Urok (The Lesson) by Kristina Grozeva and Petar Valchanov (Bulgaria, Greece).

The three finalists competing for the European Parliament’s annual film award will be subtitled in all 24 of the EU’s official languages and screened in more than 50 cities and 20 festivals in Europe, crossing national and language barriers and introducing cinema audiences to films from other European countries. The winning film will be also adapted for the visually and hearing impaired and promoted internationally.

The winner of the 2015 award will be selected by MEPs and announced on 25 November in Strasbourg in the presence of the four directors.
