Jarosław Kamiński The Best European Editor 2018

The European Film Academy has announced the first winners of this year’s European Film Awards. The eight-member jury awarded the best European filmmakers responsible for cinematography, editing, production design, costume design, hair & make-up, music, sound design and, for the first time, visual effects.

The award for the Best European Editor was given to Jarosław Kamiński for the film Cold War directed by Paweł Pawlikowski.

“The cuts in COLD WAR are meaningful and emotional, almost like poetry. This poetic way of editing supports and enhances the sensuality of the story. The editor sensitively leads the heroes through time, emphasizing their isolation from each other in space, the fragmentarity of their relationship and the impossibility of being together.” – justify jury.

The list of winners is available on the EFA website:
