One Summer of Happiness
The 2nd annual Berlin International Film Festival was held from 12 to 25 June 1952.
The Golden Bear was awarded to Swedish film One Summer of Happiness by the audience vote.
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), instead the awards were given through audience voting. This was only changed in 1956 when the FIAPF granted Berlin the so-called "A-Status".
Orson Welles's Othello was banned from the festival due to his alleged anti-German remarks. The festival held a retrospective on silent films.
