Jamila Wenske (Producer, Germany, Achtung Panda!)
A special mention was given to Thessa Meijer's project Volcano Girl for her refreshingly subtle approach to a sensitive subject, revealing a unique voice and style.
The T-Port Award went to Dana Lerer's Double Happiness, who impressed the jury with her courage to expose her own vulnerability and fearlessly push the boundaries of self-honesty, something artists should always do. She is therefore the winner of the €1,500 prize.
ARTEKINO INTERNATIONAL - €6,000
In the framework of the Co-production Village, the ArteKino International Prize of €6,000 was awarded to Rabia by German director Mareike Engelhardt.
The decision to award this prize to Mareike Engelhardt was based on the quality of her previous very good short film, which proves that she knows how to deal with a very difficult subject in an original and contemporary way. Her first feature film, which is a continuation of this short, appeared very promising and convincing.
ALPHAPANDA AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT - €5,000

All projects were eligible for this prize worth €5,000, consisting of €600 in advertising spend and €4,400 in kind, to develop a digital marketing strategy and implement a campaign on social networks at the time of the film's festival premiere.

The award goes to To sail close to the wind, directed by Gregoris Rentis and produced by Asterisk* (Greece), Byrd (Greece) and Good Fortune Films (France).
"We were very intrigued by the clips we saw, which made us curious about the film to come. We were amused by its slapstick comedy elements integrated in a documentary context, its original and tragi-comic approach to situations. The film is a reflection on the human condition and the state of the world today."
