International Film Awards Berlin, often shortened to ifab, is an annual film festival held in the city of Berlin, Germany. The festival was established in 2012.
Ifab was founded to promote and support the creation and distribution of quality independent filmmaking, striving to recognize excellence and diversity in cinema and to promote expression for filmmakers at all stages of their artistic careers. Founded as a non-profit organization the ifab is dedicated to the preservation and support of independent cinema. Each year the Festival Board seeks diverse selection that will decorate unknown, talented filmmakers.
The first ifab took place in 2013 at the Sputnick Moviehouse in Kreuzberg. For the 2014 edition the ifab moved to the Filmkunst 66 Movie Theater in Berlin-Charlottenburg. It was held from September 3 to 7, 2014. In 2015 the ifab was held from September 22 to 25 at the Kino im Kulturhaus Spandau, it will return there for the 2016 ifab.
The International Film Awards Berlin culminates in the presentation of several awards, including the Grand Prize: the Brandenburg Gate Award.
