We would like to inform you with great pleasure that the 25th anniversary edition of Camerimage Film Festival will also be the first one including the FIPRESCI Jury. Which means that the International Critics Prize will be granted for the first time in the Festival’s history.
Founded in 1930, FIPRESCI (Federation Internationale de la Presse Cinematographique) is the name of the international umbrella organization for professional film critics and film journalists. FIPRESCI works to promote film culture and safeguard professional interests. At present it has members in more than 50 countries worldwide. FIPRESCI awards its prize during film festivals (such as the Vienna International Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival) to reward what they see as enterprising film making. Winners of the award include Pedro Almodóvar, Paul Thomas Anderson, Jean-Luc Godard, Michael Haneke, Kim Ki-duk, Aki Kaurismäki, Werner Herzog, Terrence Malick, Roman Polanski, Woody Allen and Wong Kar-wai.
The first-ever FIPRESCI Jury at Camerimage will consist of Karsten Kastelan(Germany), István Szathmáry (Hungary) and Mateusz Werner (Poland).
