The Golden Bear was awarded to Swedish film One Summer of Happiness by the audience vote.[2]
The FIAPF prohibited the festival from awarding any official prizes by a jury (which in the early 50's only Cannes and Venice were allowed to do so),[1] instead the awards were given through audience voting. This was only changed in 1956 when the FIAPF granted Berlin the so-called "A-Status".[1][3]
Orson Welles's Othello was banned from the festival due to his alleged anti-German remarks.[4] The festival held a retrospective on silent films.[5]
