The main prize is $100.000.
A new addition to this year’s program is the Polish Feature Film Competition. Directors and producers will be competing for $100.000 as well. The jury board consists of Roger Christian, Academy Award winner (Art Direction in ‘Star Wars’), Ellen Chenoweth, Hollywod’s leading casting director, founder of the Busan IFF – Kim Dong-Ho, as well as Stepanovich Plakhov, Russian movie critic and historian.
