Competition
The CinEast festival, in collaboration and with the support of one of its main partners, Kulczyk Investments, presents the Young Talents Award.
Five films by first or second-time film directors from the festival’s selection will be competing for this award. A separate Young Talents Jury composed of four students of the BTS cinema et audiovisuel at the Lycée des Arts et Métiers in Luxembourg will decide on the winner of the Award.
The award will be announced by the Jury at the CinEast 2022 Awards Ceremony on 22 October and the director of the winning film will receive an invitation to join the International Jury of CinEast 2022. In 2021, the Young Talents Award went to Polish director Dawid Nickel for his film Love Tasting. Dawid will be joining the Jury of CinEast 2022 as well as meet the students of the Lycée.
