The Principals appointed by the European Film Academy Board of Directors act as ambassadors and representatives of their respective disciplines. They help to strengthen networking between members, increase the visibility of their discipline and promote the further integration of the European film community. The role of chapter principal is honorary and recognizes outstanding artistic achievements.
