The film “Flow”, directed by Latvian Gints Zilbalodis, was awarded the 2025 LUX Audience Award at a ceremony&nbsp;&nbsp;in the European Parliament in Brussels. “Flow”, a Latvian, French and Belgian co-production, tells the story of Cat, a solitary animal whose home is devastated by a great flood. In his efforts to adapt to a new world, Cat finds refuge on a boat populated by other animals. The film deals with issues that are central in the European Parliament’s work: climate change, migration, displacement, and resilience.

The four other films shortlisted for the award were: “Animal” by Greek director Sofia&nbsp;Exarchou, “Dahomey” by French director Mati&nbsp;Diop, “Intercepted” by Ukranian director Oksana&nbsp;Karpovych, and “Julie keeps quiet” by Belgian director Leonardo&nbsp;van&nbsp;Dijl. The winning film was chosen by combining a public vote and a vote by MEPs, each weighted at 50%.

The LUX Audience Film Award is presented every year by the European Parliament and the European Film Academy, in partnership with the European Commission and Europa Cinemas. A symbol of the European Parliament’s commitment to culture, the Lux award continues to build cultural bridges across Europe, by putting the spotlight on films that go to the heart of the European public debate. The award aims to strengthen ties between politics and citizens, by inviting European audiences to become active protagonists and cast their vote for their favourite films.
