The jury said it was chosen, "For its true-to-life depiction of a young woman's quest to find meaning and hope in a world that has constantly disappointed her." This award carries a cash prize of $30,000 and a custom award, sponsored by Canada Goose®. THE PRIZES OF THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF FILM CRITICS (FIPRESCI PRIZES) For the 27th year, the Festival welcomed an international FIPRESCI jury. This year's jury is comprised of Jury President Lesley Chow (Australia), Andrés Nazarala (Chile), Astrid Jansen (Belgium), Pierre Pageau (Canada), James Slotek (Canada), and Viswanath Subrahmanyan (India). The Prize of the International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI) for the Discovery programme is awarded to Carmel Winters for Float Like a Butterfly, which the jury called "a pastoral and traditional bucolic film, capturing the familiar angst and anxiety a young adult woman undergoes in order to have her say in the scheme of things in a predominately male-driven patriarchal society." "Through her spectacular and deft narrative, nuanced understanding of the dilemmas women face, and a pitch- perfect performance by Hazel Doupe, this film is a triumph of free spirit." Honourable mention goes to Laura Luchetti's Twin Flower.

Saison der Filmgilde Biel beginnt vermutlich eine neue Ära. Während früher die 35mm-Filmkopien mit Untertitel auf Deutsch und Französisch versehen wurden, sehen wir uns diese Saison mit einem umständlichen Trend konfrontiert. Die bilinguale Tradition kann sich anscheinend in den digitalisierten Kinosälen nicht behaupten. Kinofilme werden heute im DCP-Format (Digital Cinema Package) vermehrt ledig - lich mit Untertiteln auf Deutsch oder Französisch hergestellt.
