The 2020 Film Prize Nominees

The 2020 Film Prize Nominees have been selected by an international committee in late August 2019. The nominated teams are now invited to participate in tailor-made workshops to further develop their projects and get prepared for the pitch to the Film Prize Jury in January 2020. The lucky winners will be announced by the international Film Prize Jury at the award ceremony held during Berlinale Talents in February 2020.
