We are happy to anounce that Philip Scheffner was awarded the editing award
BILD-KUNST SCHNITTPREIS 2013 for the editing of the film REVISION.

The jury’s statement:

„In his documentary crime story Philip Scheffner uses the edit to disclose the general constructedness of reality and memory. His editing emphasizes blank spaces and contradictions; due to a constant transparency of filmic means, the documentary work is thus revised itself. We congratulate Philip Scheffner to this unique piece of work.”

The content of a black attaché case leads to a seemingly regular, petty bourgeois life in West Germany, 1970. In the case: Typed notes, photographs, receipts, brochures and pill blisters, as well as some head and pubic hair, by which a small entrepreneur documented his affair with his secretary.

The experimental documentary film Attaché, attachée of the directors Karsten Krause und Philip Widmann (The Photographer’s Wife) is realized in coproduction with works cited and funded by Film- und Medienstiftung NRW,  MBB and FFHSH.

Peter Krüger’s ‘N’ conjures the confrontation of an enlightened European mind with the African continent – the delusion of rationality and the rationality of delusion.

In co-production with Inti Films, Cobra Films, Dieptescherpte as well as ZDF/Arte, funded by MEDIA, Flemish Film Fund (VAF), Dutch Film Fund (NFF), Communauté Française, DGOS, Taxshelter, VRT, EURIMAGES.

Merle Kröger´s crime story GRENZFALL wins German Crime Story Award 2013. Merle Kröger is the co-writer and producer of REVISION.
Congratulations!

“GRENZFALL is one of the least conventional crime stories of these past years: Inspired by the research for a documentary film, realistic and authentic, but at the same time highly fictitious; structurally adventurous, multipolar, with changing perspectives; vivid and bustling – and at the end, possibly, evolving utopic potential. Is it a political crime story? A portrait of society? An adventure story? In any case: Bold, the novel of a venturous writer.”

(Ulrich Noller, WDR)
