Award Ceremony of the 47th LUCAS Film Festival

LUCAS-Preise

When: TH, Oct. 11 | 6 p.m.
Where: DFF Cinema

The time has come: the awards cerem­o­ny for the 47th edi­ti­on of LUCAS will take place at the DFF cine­ma. Young film fans will dis­cuss the awards in the »Kids« and »Teens« com­pe­ti­ti­ons on an equal foo­ting with adult indus­try pro­fes­sio­nals. In the »Youngsters« com­pe­ti­ti­on, the decis­i­on lies in the hands of six young peo­p­le from Spain, Norway, Denmark and Germany. 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, Margret Albers (Jury Competition »Kids«) tog­e­ther with Stefan Huber and Noy Levin (both Jury Competition »Teens«) will pre­sent the ECFA Award to their European children’s film favo­ri­te. The award qua­li­fies the films for the annu­al com­pe­ti­ti­on for the “Best European Children’s Film of the Year” pri­ze, which is award­ed during the Berlin International Film Festival.
Cinema Without Borders is an inter­na­tio­nal film indus­try net­work that pres­ents the “MOZAIK Bridging The Borders Award” at LUCAS. The award reco­gni­zes films that bring peo­p­le clo­ser tog­e­ther across bor­ders of all kinds and address issues of social jus­ti­ce. The Audience Award gives the LUCAS audi­ence a voice.
