FBW Special Award
Our FBW jury awards a special prize during the festival: a free submission to FBW - Deutsche Film- und Medienbewertung. If the winning film then receives the rating " Besonders Wertvoll", this can be very helpful for the financing of future projects. Our jurors Hamze Bytyçi, Konstantin Marx and Eva-Maria Schneider-Reuter take up the challenge to watch the wild film mix of all German productions and co-productions from the entire KUKI program.
These are the films they will see:
