In the world of prison life the power of freedom through art superbly is manifested by inmates of maximum security reenacting Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Their gripping discoveries of character similitarites arouse compassion for the human condition.
The Ecumenical Jury, appointed by INTERFILM and SIGNIS, awards prizes in the International Competition, the Panorama and the International Forum of Young Cinema. The Panorama and the Forum prize carry a prize money of 2500.- € each, donated by the Catholic Film Work in Germany and the EKD (Evangelical Church in Germany).
