FIPRESCI Award

The FIPRESCI often gives out awards during film festivals (such as the Vienna International Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival, the Warsaw Film Festival, and the International Film Festival of Kerala) to recognize examples of enterprising filmmaking.

Winners of the award include:

Robert Bresson refused this award at the 1974 Cannes Film Festival.

FIPRESCI Grand Prix

The FIPRESCI Grand Prix was created in 1999, and is presented every year at the San Sebastián Film Festival. It is the federation’s most representative acknowledgement, as it is not chosen by a jury (like the international critics prize awarded to a film from a festival program), but is elected by all members, and all feature-length productions of the previous twelve months are eligible.

Journal

As of 2005, it also offers an online cinema journal, Undercurrents, edited by film critic Chris Fujiwara.[7]

gollark: What if we ask someone missing, what is it, Wernicke's area, which is the bit of the brain doing language processing?
gollark: What if we ask speakers of more tightly controlled languages like French?
gollark: What if we ask someone who has somehow not been exposed to the idea of "grammar" and doesn't understand the question?
gollark: Fascinating.
