In 2018 the festival with its unique theme got a new swing that is has been renamed by the Oscar- winner, Hungarian born production designer, Alexandre Trauner and became the film festival of production designers.

The program of the film festival has been supplemented with a European Feature Film category in which the jury remunerates the production design and designers of the films.
