Prix ​​Lumières

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Prix ​​Lumières (also Trophées Lumières ) are named after the Lumière brothers and have been awarded annually in Paris since 1996 . They are awarded by the Académie des Lumières , the jury consists of over 200 representatives from foreign media. The award ceremony takes place between mid-January and the end of February. In contrast to the Césars , which were awarded a little later , the prize is aimed exclusively at films from the French-speaking area.

The award was launched in 1995 by the American journalist Edward Behr and the French film producer Daniel Toscan du Plantier . The Golden Globe Award , which is presented annually by international media representatives in Los Angeles , served as a model.
