FIPRESCI Jury


In 1925 some film journalists from Paris and Brussels founded a Professional Association of the Film Press. Soon after, the Belgium journalists took the initiative in making contact with others in foreign countries. The idea of an International Federation of Film Press took shape in Paris, during the Congress of Cinema, held in the Rothschild Foundation building between 27th September and 3rd October 1926.

The organisations of professional film critics and film journalists, established in different countries for the promotion and development of film culture and for the safeguarding of professional interests, constitute the International Federation of the Cinematographic Press (Fédération Internationale de la Presse Cinématographique - FIPRESCI) - an institution founded on the 6th of June 1930.

The purpose of the International Film Critics Awards (the FIPRESCI Prize) is to promote film-art and to encourage new and young cinema.

The FIPRESCI prize is awarded at international film festivals or at film festivals of particular importance. The General Assembly decides at which festivals FIPRESCI juries are to be established, and also decides which kind of films or which sections of the Festivals are to be included for the jury.

FIPRESCI juries award only one prize. Only in exceptional cases, the jury may decide not to award any prize at all. In this case, the jury has to give an argumentation for the decision.

The prize consists of a diploma which contains the title and name of the director of the winning film.

Juries should not have less than three members nor more than nine members. They all have to be from different countries.
