European Film Award / Best Newcomer Film
The European Film Prize for the Best Newcomer Film ( European Discovery - Prix FIPRESCI ) is a film prize that has been awarded to the best film by a young European director since 1997. From 1997 to 2005 it was awarded together with the Rainer Werner Fassbinder Foundation as the Fassbinder Prize ( Prix Fassbinder ).
As early as 1988 and 1990, the European Film Awards had a young talent award, at that time still for young actors.
