DON QUIJOTE AWARD

WHAT IS?

The Don Quijote Award is a prize from the IFSS – International Federation of Film Societies given in selected Festivals. The FICC Jury in each Festival is composed by film society activists from any country of the world, selected among the nominations from national Federations of Film Societies.
It consists of a plaque and diploma and the promotion of the film all over the world among film societies.

The basis for the selection are the film society mouvement philosophy, as based on the Chart of Tabor of the Rights of Public and the Quijote utopia.

HOW?
The Festival aplies close to the Executive Committee of IFSS to establish a FICC Jury of 3 or 5 persons, according to the case, one or two members must be nationals. The Festival should support Jury members with full travel or partial expenses, hotel and meals, as well as access to all Festival activities.
Once the FICC Jury is established, the Festival contacts IFSS with no less than two months in advance, in order to allow the call and selection of Jury Members. This procedure is quite important as the Jury Members are selected from a large number of possible candidates.
WHOM?
Film society activists are not mandatory film makers or specialists. Film societies activists are film lovers, people involved in the Film Culture and came with different backgrounds. This is a different approach to films based on the analysis of films but also on self cinematographic experiences as well as the film society movement philosophy.
WERE?
Many Film Festivals,  mainly based in Europe but growing around the world. (list)
