FIPRESCI Prize

This festival has become one of the highlights of the international festival circuit, mostly due to its well-selected program and retrospectives. FIPRESCI awards its Grand Prix for Best Film of the Year during the festival’s opening ceremony. Our three member jury, one from Spain and two international, will focus on the International competition.

A major European film event based in Chemnitz, Germany,the festival is dedicated entirely to children and young audiences. Held annually, it features hundreds of international short and feature-length films, and serves as a vital networking hub for the global film industry. FIPRESCI jurors will evaluate a selection of films from the Children’s Film Competition (feature films for ages up to 10 years) and the Junior Film Competition (feature films for ages up to 13 years).

Held annually in Haeundae-gu, Busan, South Korea, the festival was founded in 1996 and it focuses on introducing emerging films, first-time directors, and exceptional independent cinema, with a special emphasis on works from Asian countries. The festival sections New Currents and Korean Cinema Today – Vision! have been restructured into two expanded strands: Vision – Asia and Vision – Korea, offering a broader and more insightful perspective on the current landscape of Asian independent cinema. Our jury will award a film from the Vision-Asia section.
