New Asian Cinema competition
People's Jury Award
The People's Jury is composed of non-professionals interested in Asian cinema and culture. To participate, the volunteers apply by sending short essays or visual impressions on Asian film. This solution is quite unique among film festivals worldwide. There was no competitive section during the first five editions of the festival, thus the first prize was awarded in 2012.Year | Film | Original title | Director | Country |
