European Film Academy Board

EAVE graduate and longtime EAVE Romanian Coordinator Ada Solomon is the new chair of the Board of the European Film Academy. Her new deputy chairs are Dutch EAVE graduate Leontine Petit and French Matthieu Darras. Their two-year mandate will start on 1 January 2026.

"Being part of the European Film Academy board for a decade now, I took the responsibility to promote excellence in filmmaking in all the diversity of the European cinematic voices, but also to put the spotlight on the less visible ones: the smaller territories, the underrepresented forms of cinema, the crews behind the camera. It is a time of change, and I am ready to take the challenge knowing that I am backed up by the great executive team of the Academy and the amazing people in the board of the European Film Academy, and especially the newly elected deputy chairs: Leontine Petit and Matthieu Darras," said Ada Solomon in a statement.

In 2026, the board of EFA also includes EAVE+ graduate Danijel Hocevar (Slovenia), who was re-elected for Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Slovenia; EAVE+ graduate Giorgos Karnavas (Greece), who was re-elected for Armenia, Cyprus, Georgia, Greece, and Israel and EAVE and TTB graduate Marija Razgute (Lithuania), who was re-elected for Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, among others. EAVE graduate Vanessa Henneman was elected for Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands.
