Cristian Mungiu's Palme D'Or winner 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, Chris Kraus Golden Lola-winner Four Minutes, Shane Meadows' This Is England and Tom Tykwer's Perfume - The Story Of A Murderer are among 42 films competing for this year's European Film Awards.

Unlike previous years, no major film nation has more than three films on the list and, with 26 countries represented, this year's selection vividly illustrates the great diversity in European cinema.

In the coming weeks, the 1,800 members of the European Film Academy will vote for the nominations in the different award categories, which will then be announced on November 3 at the Sevilla Festival de Cine Europeo in Spain.

The 20th European Film Awards will be held in Berlin on December 1.
