After online voting, French film "Eternal Playground" by Pablo Cotten and Joseph Rozé received the audience award at the ninth edition of the Burgas International Film Festival, which took place at various locations in the seaside city between July 19 and 25. At the award ceremony, the authors, together with actor Arkadi Radev, who is of Bulgarian origin, announced that this was the first award for their film and they were happy to receive it in Burgas. The film was presented for the first time to a Bulgarian audience and that happened soon after its world premiere at the "Tribeca" festival in New York.

The Grand Prize for Best Feature Film went to "Sweet Dreams" by director and screenwriter Ena Sendijarevic from the Netherlands.
