Jury
Our film festival has been supporting film talent in various ways since its first year. Apart from giving opportunities to filmmakers we believe in, we also award prizes. To ensure that this happens as independently as possible, a jury decides on each award. That is what happens with the Méliès d'Argent and the Young Blood Award. In addition, the audience is also a jury, as they determine who wins the Audience Award.
Méliès d'Argent
The jury for the Méliès d'Argent 2022 will be announced shortly.
Young Blood
The Young Blood Award recognises the best international debut filmmaker within the genre films and is an acknowlegdement of quality and creativity. Over the years, many Young Blood Award winners have gone on to build careers in the fantastic film industry.

Audience Award
The name says it all: this award is decided by the visitors. After each film, they can give a score to what they saw. All scores are kept up to date and approached in percentage terms. The film with the best score receives this honourable title.
