The first month of a new year always comes with plenty of reflection, something mirrored in the retrospectives and anniversary memorials taking place across the continent. From tributes to Art Deco to a revival of photographer Nan Goldin's landmark 1986 book, 'The Ballad of Sexual Dependency', it's a time for looking back to inspire new perspectives looking forward.
While the next instalment of Alex Garland's rage virus series is hitting cinemas, it's also a better time than ever to catch up on the lesser-known European films that are nominated at the upcoming European Film Awards (EFAs). Taking place this Saturday (17 January), our resident film critic David Mouriquand will be reporting live on the ground from Berlin, so stay tuned to find out more about the winners (and read our reviews for frontrunners Sentimental Value, Sirat and It Was Just An Accident in the meantime).
