Meanwhile, the festival's life achievement award goes to the legendary Russian cinematographer Anatoli Petritsky, best known for his work with Sergei Bondarchuk on Academy Award-winning War And Peace.
The ICFF festival is named after brothers Yanaki and Milton Manaki, the first Macedonian photographers and cinematographers, and the name of the award comes from the film camera Bioscope 300 which they bought in London in 1905 to shoot their first film.
