Prize for the Best Feature Film Debut
The Friends of the Nordische Filmtage Lübeck was founded in 1997 and established as an association in 2006, and has been involved in the festival for many years. The 320 members of the association are fantastic film buffs, and now they have become an exceptional jury. They will award the Best Feature Film Debut with an endowment of 7,500 euro, to help promote and motivate young talents from the North to bring interesting material and stories to the screen.
In competition are debut narrative features from the sections “Narrative Films”, “Young Audience” and “Filmforum”.
