Jury

Being there may be half the battle, but in the end there can only be one winner. Each year, the juries and their high-powered members must decide which films will leave Potsdam honoured as the festival's best.

In addition to prominent film-makers and industry experts, last year's winners will also be helping to judge the 120 or so films that will be screened during the festival.
