Film Award Global Perspectives

Since 2001, a jury of experts has been honoring filmmakers whose works convincingly draw attention to the realities of life in the countries of the Global South and enable audiences to change their perspective. In 2024, a youth jury of the German Film and Media Rating (FBW) will award an outstanding long feature film.

Production companies, TV editorial teams, distribution companies, film schools and film authors can submit productions for cinema, television and the web that were made/released after 1st January 2022.  by 1 March. This includes all moving image forms that can be shown as part of non-commercial and commercial film and educational work. With the film award, a jury honours filmmakers whose works draw attention to the realities of life in the countries of the world in an artistically convincing way and enable the audience to change their perspective.

As part of the Conference, a film will be awarded by a youth jury of the Geman Film Rating Agency (FBW) for young people aged 16 to 18. The nominees are artistically outstanding feature film productions (fiction films and documentaries) for commercial screening in German cinemas. The award honours the work of directors who convincingly draw attention to the realities of life and perspectives in the countries of the Global South in the spirit of global learning. The participants of the Conference have the opportunity to get to know the youth jury and to exchange first-hand about the perspectives and interests of the young audience. The youth jury is realised in cooperation with the FBW – Deutsche Film- und Medienbewertung.

Around 20 of the submitted productions in the Special Recommendations category are also recommended in detail for educational work an will be subsequently advertised. A selection of these recommendations will be screened during the Conference.

The film award ceremony will take place on Wednesday, 15 March at the Ev. Akademie, Römerberg 9 in Frankfurt.
