The Berner Filmpreis (Bernese Film Prize) is an annual award presented by the cultural promotion department of the Canton of Bern, in conjunction with the Bernese Film Promotion. It recognizes artistically outstanding current cinema and festival films, including documentary and feature films, and also includes special prizes, such as those for animation. The awards are based on the recommendation of an independent jury and are typically presented as part of "BE MOVIE – Das Wochenende des Berner Films" (BE MOVIE – The Weekend of Bernese Film).
