Festivals are not only a meeting place for filmmakers and their audiences, but also a place where filmmakers themselves come together. Directors get to know each other's work, and thanks to the Peer Award, that work is also rewarded. The participating directors vote for each others' films. Both the nominated films for the Peer Award 2024 and those nominated in the current edition can be found at the festival. You can admire this year’s nominations at a one-off screening on the final day of the festival. The 2025 winner will be revealed during the closing night on 6 December.
