Filmpreis für internationale Zusammenarbeit

Today, the eight nominated teams of the 2021 FILM PRIZE have had their PITCHING TRAINING with Film Prize experts Sibylle Kurz and Stefano Tealdi to develop their pitch. This year’s challenge is to conceive an original recorded pitch for their project. Through that, they will have to convince the Film Prize Jury for a chance to win one of the two BEST PITCH AWARDS endowed with 10,000 euros each on 11th February.

The upcoming edition will take place in two stages: a digital event for industry professionals in late winter and audience screenings in the summer. ➡ bit.ly/Berlinale2021Statement Our audiences can look forward to a summer event with a festive opening and numerous screenings in June 2021. In cinemas across the city, outdoors and indoors, we hope to celebrate cinema safely together with you. A digital industry gathering will take place March 1–5, 2021, with the European Film Market - EFM, Berlinale Talents, Berlinale Co-Production Market and World Cinema Fund providing a crucial platform to revitalise the film industry. The official line-up for the Competition and sections will be unveiled in February and shared with the film industry at the virtual European Film Market in March. After our International Jury watches the films in Berlin and chooses the Golden and Silver Bear winners, we'll present the award winners and select films to audiences in the summer. We'll keep you posted as we continue to finalise plans that will live up to the expectations of our audiences, filmmakers and the film industry – as well as ensure everybody's safety.
