DEAR FUTURE CHILDREN wins German Film Award
Congratulations to Franz Böhm & team for winning the German Documentary Film Award & Audience Award!
The German Documentary Film Award is one of the most prestigious awards for filmmakers in the German documentary industry. Half of the main prize, worth €20,000, is donated by Südwestrundfunk (SWR) and the Medien- und Filmgesellschaft Baden-Württemberg (MFG). The main jury, chaired by film and television producer Prof. Regina Ziegler, decided in 2022 to split the prize and prize money between DEAR FUTURE CHILDREN and MR. BACHMANN AND HIS CLASS.
The jury statement: "The great film 'Dear Future Children' gives faces and voices to a generation. The young filmmaker Franz Böhm and his cinematographer Friedemann Leis capture all their anger, energy and resourcefulness in such an impressive way that they allow us to witness all the desires, hopes and fears of these special young people.”
DEAR FUTURE CHILDREN also won the Audience Award worth 3.000 EUR by the audience jury of the SWR Landesschau.
