Mr Indrek SAAR Minister of Culture Seville, 30 October 2018 Dear Minister, It is our great pleasure to invite you to celebrate with us on Saturday, 15 December 2018, the 31st Ceremony of the European Film Awards. This year, the ceremony will take place for the first time in Seville. The Awards given each year by the European Film Academy are the most important event for the cinematography of the Old Continent. It will be the second occasion in which they visit Spain and, for the first time, they are celebrated in Andalusia. It will bring together members of the European Film Academy (EFA), as well as filmmakers and performers from all over Europe, nominated and awarded, among other personalities from the world of culture. Our ceremony is much more than handing out a series of prizes – it is also a demonstration of openness and acceptance, particularly in challenging times like these. Your presence is especially appreciated when the European film community demonstrates the importance of culture in mastering these challenges. And our after show dinner and party is known to be a very enjoyable event! Should your agenda allow you to join us in Seville already on Saturday, 14 December, it would also be a great pleasure to welcome you to our nominees’ celebration and dinner on that night. Please find the detailed weekend programme enclosed for your information. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact by email [email protected]. We look forward to welcoming you to Seville and celebrating the best of European cinema with you! Yours sincerely, Juan Espadas Cejas
