• the Golden Bear for the best film,
• a Silver Bear as a Jury Grand Prix,
• further Silver Bears in the categories “Best Director”, “Best Actress”, “Best Actor”, “for an outstanding artistic contribution”, and for “Best Film Music”,
• as well as the Alfred Bauer Prize to a work which “takes the art of film in a new direction”.
