Constructing Europe
Constructing Europe is also about supporting cultural diversity
and the creative arts. At the moment when the European Union is
celebrating its founding texts and is in the process of drafting
an new treaty, the European Parliament has decided to create the
LUX Prize.
The objective of the LUX Prize (light) is to illuminate the public debate
on European integration and to facilitate the diffusion of
European films in the European Union. The LUX Prize will finance
the subtitling and the kinescope recording of the winning film in
the 23 official EU languages. The original language recording will
be adapted for sub-titling for hard of hearing and deaf people.
