VPRO Tiger Awards Competition

The heart of the International Film Festival Rotterdam: each year, some 15 features compete for the three equal VPRO Tiger Awards. Each film must be a director's first or second feature and must also have its world or international premiere in Rotterdam. The complete selection of competition films will be announced in early January. Other films by talented young filmmakers are selected into the Cinema of the Future: Sturm und Drang section.
