IFFR Youth Jury Award
Five youngsters of Rotterdam get to chance to award one of the films in IFFR’s selection. By receiving the IFFR Youth Jury Award, the film is also internationally labelled as a youth film. The IFFR Youth Jury members experience IFFR from the inside out. They do not only watch films but also meet filmmakers and film professionals.
