The 1st annual Berlin International Film Festival was held from 6 – 17 June 1951.[1] The opening film was Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca.[1]

At this very first Berlin Festival, the Golden Bear award was introduced, and it was awarded to the best film in each of five categories: drama, comedy, crime or adventure, music film, and documentary. This system disappeared already the following year, partly because films that year were voted on by the audience.
