FIPRESCI Prize

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.

A lively, bold, popular, innovative event! For more than 50 years, the FNC has been making national and international auteur cinema accessible, treating audiences to works of diversity and originality by emerging and major filmmakers.

The festival focuses on a series of first or second feature-length films and on the innovative work of young filmmakers.
