>Gender-neutral acting prizes

柏林影展奖项'不分性别'

The organizers of the Berlin International Film Festival say they will stop awarding separate acting prizes to women and men beginning next year.

柏林国际电影节的主办方表示，从明年开始将取消表演奖项的男女性别分类。

Organizers said Monday the performance awards will be defined in a gender-neutral way at next year's festival, for which a physical event is planned.

电影节主办方8月24日表示，明年的柏林电影节计划线下举办，表演奖项不再以性别做区分。

The festival awards a Golden Bear for the best film and a series of Silver Bears, which until this year included best actor and best actress honors.

电影节奖项设置为最佳影片金熊奖以及各种银熊奖。到今年为止，银熊奖中还包含最佳男演员奖和最佳女演员奖。

Organizers said those prizes will be replaced with a Silver Bear for Best Leading Performance and a Silver Bear for Best Supporting Performance.

主办方表示，上述奖项将被最佳主角银熊奖和最佳配角银熊奖替代。

At the same time, the Alfred Bauer Prize, which is named after the festival's founding director, will be permanently retired.

同时，以电影节创始总监阿尔弗雷德?鲍尔的名字命名的阿尔弗雷德?鲍尔奖将被永久取消。

The prize was suspended this year due to revelations about Bauer's role in the Nazis' moviemaking bureaucracy.

由于鲍尔被曝曾为纳粹德国时期电影部门服务，因此今年停颁了这一奖项。2
