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 TELE 5 FRESH BLOOD AWARD.
Voting will take place at every FRESH BLOOD screening via voting cards that will be distributed on site. On the voting cards, 1-5 stars can be awarded to the respective film. The winner will be announced at the end of the festival.
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.
