The Silver Bear Jury Prize (German: Silberner Bär Preis der Jury) is an award presented annually at the Berlin International Film Festival since 2021. It is chosen by the jury from the films in main competition at the festival. It is considered the third most prestigious prize after the Golden Bear and the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize, respectively.[1]
History
The prize was introduced to replace the Alfred Bauer Prize,[2][3] which was suspended in 2020 after it was revealed that its namesake Alfred Bauer, the founding director of the festival, had been an active high-ranking Nazi closely involved in a propaganda organisation set up by Joseph Goebbels.[4][5] In its place, the international jury presented the "Silver Bear – 70th Berlinale" at the 2020 Festival.[6] The new Silver Bear Jury Prize was first presented at the 2021 Festival,[7] where Maria Speth was its inaugural winner.
