The CICAE Award, also known as the Arthouse Cinema Award, is presented by the International Confederation of Art Houses (CICAE) at various international film festivals, including the Berlinale, Sarajevo Film Festival, and Loft Film Fest. The award is determined by an international jury of arthouse cinema exhibitors and programmers, aiming to promote high-quality films and support the arthouse movement. CICAE collaborates with festivals worldwide to provide a platform for innovative films, first works, and productions from less-recognized countries.
