\n\tJoachim Trier\u2019s Sentimental Value swept the board at 38th European Film Awards<\/a> in Berlin on Saturday evening. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe film scooped Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenwriter for Eskil Vogt and Trier, as well as Best European Actor and European Best Actress for Stellan Skarsg\u00e5rd and Renate Reinsve respectively and Best Score.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Cannes Grand Prix winner went into the ceremony as the frontrunner with other strong contenders including Oliver Laxe\u2019s Morocco-set drama Sir\u0101t, Mascha Schilinski\u2019s debut film Sound of Falling and Jafar Panahi\u2019s It Was Just An Accident.<\/p>\n

\n\tLaxe\u2019s Sir\u0101t dominated the craft awards with wins for Best European Production Designer, Best European Sound Design, Best European Editor, Best European Casting Director and Best European Cinematographer. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn other prizes, Ugo Bienvenu\u2019s Arco continued it award-winning spree to scoop Best European Animated Feature Film. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe work, produced by Natalie Portman produced with Sophie Mas under their joint Paris and New York banner MountainA and F\u00e9lix de Givry, previously won Best Film At Annecy International Film Festival and is on the Bafta long-list for Best Animated Film.<\/p>\n

\n\tIranian director Panahi opened the ceremony in Berlin with an impassioned plea asking the world not to remain silent in the wake of \u201cthe unprecedented massacre\u201d unfolding in Iran.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe was speaking ten days into a brutal crackdown by Iran\u2019s hardline government of nationwide popular protests. At least 3,000 protestors are believed to have been killed and another 18,000 arrested, although Panahi reiterated a report of 12,000 deaths in his speech.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis is not just the pain of one country if the world does not respond to this blatant violence today. Not only Iran but the entire world is at risk. Violence left unanswered becomes normalized and when it become normalized, it\u2019s spread become contagious,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhen the truth is crushed in one place, freedom suffocates everywhere. Then no-one is safe. Anywhere in the world, not in Iran, not in Europe, not in America\u2026 that is precisely why today as filmmakers and artists more than ever, if we are disappointed with politicians, we must at least must refuse to remain silent because silence in a time of crime is not neutrality silence, silence is a participation in darkness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThere were also honorary prizes for Norwegian acting legend Liv Ullmann and Italian director Alice Rohrwacher, who received a Lifetime Achievement Award as well as the European Achievement in World Cinema Award respectively.<\/p>\n

\n\tUllmann used her acceptance speech to express the role of cinema in capturing human reality as well as her consternation at \u00a0U.S. President Donald Trump being recently presented <\/a>by Venezuelan opposition leader Mar\u00eda Corina Machado with her Nobel Peace Prize. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn the other awards, Maren Ade, Jonas Dornbach, and Janine Jackowski, co-heads of Germany\u2019s\u00a0Komplizen\u00a0Film, were feted with the previously announced\u00a0Eurimages\u00a0International Co-Production Award<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe trio gave a shoutout to Sentimental Value, the latest of a long line of coproductions which also include The Whistlers\u00a0by Corneliu Porumboiu,\u00a0The Story of My Wife\u00a0by Ildik\u00f3 Enyedi,\u00a0About Dry Grasses\u00a0by Nuri Bilge Ceylan,\u00a0Corsage\u00a0by Marie Kreutzer, Yes by Nadav Lapid among many others. <\/p>\n
