The 2nd annual Berlin International Film Festival was held from 12 June – 25 June 1952.[1] The FIAPF prohibited the festival from awarding any official prizes by a jury (which only Cannes and Venice were qualified to do so),[1] instead awards were given by audience voting. This was changed in 1956 when the FIAPF granted Berlin "A-Status" during that year.[1][2]

Golden Bear was awarded to Swedish film Hon dansade en sommar by audience vote,[3] despite featuring a nude scene which caused much sensation at the time. 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]
