Main Competition
NEW TALENT GRAND PIX
10 films by 10 first feature film directors compete to win the NEW TALENT GRAND PIX.
PIX's main competition is dedicated to new talent, and the prize is donated by an international jury to that director, whom they regard as having the strongest signature and the greatest future in cinema.
The NEW TALENT GRAND PIX is 15.000 Euro, which can support the winning director in making his next film.
The only aspect which the 10 competition films have in common, is that they are all the first feature fiction films. These filmmakers come from several continents, and their films have varying themes and genres. They are the new talents to watch out for!
The members of the Jury 2013 are: Agnès Wildenstein, Kleber Mendonça Filho og Ragnar Bragason. Read about the Jury Members here.
