In our FRESH BLOOD section, we present debut or second feature films by still unknown directors and let the audience vote for their favorites. The winning film will receive our audience award – the FRESH BLOOD AWARD.
Abgestimmt wird bei jeder ‚fresh blood‘-Vorstellung mit Stimmkarten, die vor Ort verteilt werden. Auf den Stimmkarten können für den jeweiligen Film jeweils 1-5 Sterne vergeben werden. Der/die Gewinner:in wird am Ende des Festivals bekanntgegeben.
All the votes have been counted - our audience has decided: MARS EXPRESS (France) - a French sci-fi animation about an exciting investigation into the colony on Mars - has won the majority of votes in all seven festival cities.
Congratulations to director Jérémie Périn and German distributor Capelight Pictures . Jérémie will receive the coveted Fresh Blood Award 2023 trophy.
The Tele 5 FRESH BLOOD AWARD 2022 goes to FREAKS OUT. The superhero fantasy spectacle, bursting with imagination, written and directed by Gabriele Mainetti, took the audience by storm.
