The Big Screen Award Competition

THE KILLING 3 Sarah Lund is weer terug! Het derde seizoen van de ijzersterke Deense crime serie. Sarah Lund stort zich op een mysterieuze moordzaak die haar naar de politiek, de bank- én de zakenwereld

This edition, the 42nd International Film Festival Rotterdam introduces a THE BIG SCREEN AWARD COMPETITION new competition in support of theatrical distribution of feature films in the Netherlands and Belgium. Over the past years, for cultural, demographical, economical or technological reasons, many things have changed in cinema distribution. Some of these changes have been beneficial, other have been problematic. But we feel some of the films in the festival’s line up have the potential to reach a wider audience than is possible during the festival. We have selected ten films, both from Bright Future and Spectrum sections, to be seen by an Audience Jury comprising five enthusiastic film lovers from the Netherlands. These ten films, including four world premieres, will also be eligible for the KNF Award, the prize given by Circle of Dutch Film Critics since 1984. The members of the Big Screen Award Jury 2013 are Menno van de Laars, Jeroen Laven, Ilse van de Spoel, Jorine Witte and Alexander Zwart. The members of the KNF Jury 2013 are Joost Broeren (De Filmkrant), Sven Gerrets (VPRO-gids/Cinema.nl), Fritz de Jong (De Persdienst DPd/De Filmkrant), Pim Wijers (Preview Magazine) and Dineke de Zwaan (Uitagenda Rotterdam). Both prizes come with a guaranteed distribution offer for the Benelux, in collaboration with local distributor Amstelfilm. We hope to develop The Big Screen Award further in years to come.
