ARRI Award

The ARRI Award is presented to the producers of the best international film in the CineMasters competition. An independent three-member jury decides who shall receive the award, worth 50,000 euros, and presents it at the Award Ceremony at the end of the festival. The award has been presented since 2008. From 2013 to 2021 the companies ARRI and OSRAM sponsored the award together. Recipients include so far the Russian drama LEVIATHAN (2014) and the Oscar-winning Iranian film THE SALESMAN (2018).
