Congratulations! Today, "Die Wannseekonferenz" (The
Conference), authors: Magnus Vattrodt, Paul Mommertz,
director: Matti Geschonneck won the CIVIS Media Prize 2022
in the Entertainment category. Jury's remarks: "The film
sticks closely to the authentic minutes of a conversation
about the organisation of a mass murder. But this is much
more than a window into the past. The film, depressingly
brought to life by great actors, is a reminder of how far
a dehumanized bureaucracy is capable of going. At the same
time, it is a warning of evolving inhumanity in some
right-wing discourse today."
The full award ceremony here, starting at 37 minutes into ;
the laudator is former German Federal President Joachim
Gauck.
CIVIS - Europe's Media Prize for Migration, Integration
and Cultural Diversity and – linked to this – social
cohesion in Europe honours programme achievements in
radio, television and the Internet which promote peaceful
coexistence in the European immigration society. All winners |

An unconventionally kitsch-free and unsentimental
treatment of coping with grief. A whole year went by
before musician Juliane Hansen (Anna Schudt) was able to
put her running shoes back on — a year after her partner,
Johann König (Maximilian Brückner), took his own life.
Although her friend Rieke (Katharina Wackernagel) offers
all the support she can, Juliane feels lonely and
listless. Now, running and panting, she begins to confront
her thoughts, which constantly revolve around Johann, and
to allow new vitality to enter her life. Source |
