IFF Berlin Awards - is a festival created in support of the artists of our time. It brings together different approaches, authorial visions, handwriting and genre combinations.
We are mired in pop, clip culture. It has clouded our thinking, hiding our path behind a shroud of empty information. We are constantly on the surface, skipping over momentary highlights. It's a perpetual pursuit without meaning. It's an addiction. We have become less receptive. We've stopped hearing ourselves. We've forgotten about depth.
Let's combine different approaches, author's vision, handwriting and genre combinations to convey the versatility of our world to the future!
Films entered in multiple categories may win multiple awards.
