The films were selected from a pool of 16 by film professionals to present their projects during the four-day VdR Pitching and VdR Work in Progress forums. This year two new cash awards were introduced. The Eurimages Co-production Development Award was awarded to "The Last Days of the Hospital" directed by Mehran Tamadon (My Worst Enemy, Bassidji). The Xe Award and CHF 20,000 money went to Salvatore of Lucan's "Life of Tipu", a story about an Irish-Bangladeshi who discovers his father's discord on Facebook and embarks on a quest to meet him.
