The 8th International Film and Multimedia Festival received 232 entries from 30 countries on the theme of prevention and work safety. The international juries selected the winners from among the pre-selected 90 films and 70 multimedia presentations based on their effectiveness, the overall treatment of the subject and the overall impression of the film or production.

The results were announced by Festival co-organizer and Chairman of the ISSA’s International Section on Information for Prevention, Marc de Graef, and Peter Rimmer, who presided the Festival’s film jury.
