This year, 19 films will compete for the top prize in the festival's main competition, including "Transit," a refugee drama by German director Christian Petzold, "Dovlatov," a 1970s Russian thriller by Alexey German Jr., "Daughter of Mine," an Italian family film directed by Laura Bispuri and the Polish work "Mug" by Malgorzata Szumowska.
Last year, the Hungarian love story "On Body and Soul," directed by Ildikó Enyedi, won the main prize.
