Each year, we’re faced with an abundance of outstanding films — thankfully, our fantastic juries across the four competition categories are here to make the tough calls. With sharp insight and a wealth of experience, they’ll decide who will take home the prize money and the coveted tree trophy at the end of the festival. This year’s jury brings together 12 experts from the fields of art and culture, including filmmakers Franzis Kabisch and Mo Harawe, festival representatives Inja Korać, Miguel Dias, Alexandra Garcia, and Joel Karppanen, artists Robert Seidel and Jasmin Hagendorfer, curators Pedro Emilio Segura Bernal and Djamila Grandits, professor Paola Bristot, and creative strategist Christina Eckerstorfer. We’re thrilled to have them on board and would like to thank them in advance for their thoughtful and dedicated work. More about this year’s jury here.
