Prix du Public UBS

The official jury is not the only one to hand out prizes at the Festival. Every night from 4 to 14 August, the audience in Piazza Grande is on jury service, voting to decide the winner of the “Prix du Public UBS”.
Members of the audience can cast their votes by filling in the cards handed out when entering the Piazza, then dropping them in the special boxes placed at the exits. The film that receives the most audience votes will win the “Prix du Public UBS” worth 20,000 Swiss francs. The winner will receive the prize during the official awards ceremony on Saturday 15th August.
Since 2000 UBS has been honored to award an annual prize for filmmaking on behalf of the Festival audience. Previous winners of the “Prix du Public UBS” have included films such as Bend it like Beckham, The Syrian Bride and The Lives of Others.

The Prix du Public UBS 2010 goes to 'The Human Resources Manager' by Eran Riklis, Israel/Germany/France
