from SEFF

For being a person “who believes in European cinema” and for “being convinced that any European film can cross borders” , Claudia Landsberger , head of the Holland Film institution EYE Film Institute Netherlands, received the Industry Award at the SEFF closing gala from Pedro Pérez, president of the Federation of Associations of Spanish Audiovisual Producers (FAPAE).

In perfect Spanish, Landsberger expressed her appreciation for this “very special” award because, as she said, “normally recognition is for actors, not for the people who work to improve the film industry” . Also, the promoter of European cinema, who was Director of the Film Promotion Office and co-founder of the EFPO, was happy because the Festival devoted a section to Dutch cinema and because “the people of Seville have been able to see the quality of Dutch films” . And, after that, she said goodbye with a “Long live European cinema”.
