It’s that time again – the award cerem­o­ny of the 48th edi­ti­on of LUCAS will take place at the cine­ma of the DFF.

Young film enthu­si­asts will enga­ge in dis­cus­sions on equal foo­ting with adult indus­try pro­fes­sio­nals to deci­de the win­ners in the »Kids« and »Teens« com­pe­ti­ti­ons. In the »Youngsters« com­pe­ti­ti­on, the decis­i­on lies in the hands of six young peo­p­le from Germany, Austria, and Belgium. The jury of the European Children’s Film Association (ECFA) is made up of European pro­fes­sio­nals from the children’s and youth film sce­ne. This year, Anna Hofmann (jury for the »Kids« com­pe­ti­ti­on), tog­e­ther with Christian Zetterberg and Andrea Reisz (both jury mem­bers for the »Teens« com­pe­ti­ti­on), will pre­sent the ECFA Award to their favo­ri­te European child­ren’s film. This pri­ze qua­li­fies the win­ning film for the annu­al com­pe­ti­ti­on for the “Best European Children’s Film of the Year”, award­ed during the Berlin International Film Festival. Cinema Without Borders, an inter­na­tio­nal net­work in the film indus­try, will pre­sent the Bridging The Borders Award at LUCAS. This award honors films that bring peo­p­le tog­e­ther across all kinds of bor­ders and deal with issues of social jus­ti­ce. The Audience Award gives a voice to the LUCAS audience.
