Users will have one-time access to each film, and the "virtual screening", held in partnership with Cineuropa, will be available on the Festival Scope website or on an iPad with the Festival Scope Player. At the end of each screening, the users will be asked to evaluate the work of first-time directors, one of whom will be presented with the Cinelab Award, a prize that comes with €22,000 in post-production services, courtesy of the Cinelab of Bucharest.
