The best films from Central Europe are all nominated for the FIVE LAKES FILM AWARD. These films have all dared to stray from the familiar paths of mainstream cinema in order to find their own narrative. The poetic and artistic strengths of the various film makers are showcased in this section and stand for a modern, image-driven cinematic experience.
The winner is selected by a jury consisting of known film makers, journalists and representatives of the industry, as well as public and social institutions.
The 5.000€ award is sponsored by the Landratsamt Starnberg (district office) and will be given to the director of the chosen film.
