Nominated for the Babelsberg Media Awards


It is really strange. For some time I do not get any news of the film at all and now one success message is immediately followed by the next one. But I can understand it takes some time until the word is spread :-).

MY FATHER. MY UNCLE. is nominated for the Babelsberg Media Awards (Babelsberger Medienpreise). These awards are each year assigned by the Gesellschaft zur Wahrnehmung von Film- und Fernsehrechten (GWFF) Munich, the Rundfunk Berlin Brandenburg (RBB) (a broadcaster) and the HFF Potsdam-Babelsberg (the film school in Potsdam) to the best graduate thesis film in Germany.

One fictional film and one documentary film out of three nominated films each will be awarded. The awarding ceremony will be celebrated at 9th of October 2009 under the patronage of Berlinale director Prof. Dieter Kosslick.
