"We are often faced with the question whether there is a European identity, and whether a common European mindset alongside or above the various national identities can be created to bind the peoples of the continent together and to assist us in realising our common efforts in line with the objectives of European integration. Of course I am not the one to answer this question either, but one thing is certain: we can promote this goal by supporting European films, because European filmmaking draws nourishment from the diversity of cultures, and a Europe of multiple nationalities is reflected in the works of the European filmmaking industry. We are all familiar with the specific legal aspects of the institution of European citizenship, but what does it mean in everyday life and what are citizens’ experiences in this regard? European films can help us understand this as well, as films always represent a mirror of society. This was the case back when, for example, in the Eastern part of Europe social criticism could be expressed in films only in a very cautious and veiled manner, and this is the case even today when artists are free to depict society and the everyday life of Europe in ways they deem authentic. Europeans need European films, and films need support in order to be able to adapt to the challenges of the modern day."@en1
