42nd International Film Festival Berlin

13.02.1992 to 24.02.1992
Berlin

Since 1992, an Ecumenical Jury appointed by INTERFILM and SIGNIS awards prizes at the Berlinale, initially for films of the International Competition and the International Forum for Young Cinema, since 1997 also for Panorama films.

The first Catholic jury at the Berlinale was established in 1954, even earlier than the international festival jury. A Protestant INTERFILM Jury exists since 1963.

The jury awards its Forum Prize to The Annunciation of Mary for the uncompromising aestheticism in the composition of the image which issues easy consumption; the film instead employs poetic images to address profound dimensions within nature and human existence.
