Even so there will still be an online version allowing the public to follow the event and watch selected films on demand. Several new features were announced this year: two new screening rooms in Bergamo – the Lo Screen and the Spalenga – and several new events such as meetings, workshops, and exhibitions. The awards on offer will include: Best Short Drama (€1,000), Best Documentary (€1,000), Best Film produced by a school or a class (€250) and finally the Audience Award, chosen by the public present during the screenings. The juries also reserve the right to award special mentions during the event.
