Robert Bosch
Stiftung to award its Promotional Prize in the framework of goEast Film
Festival
The goEast Film Festival has won a powerful new partner in the charitable
foundation Robert Bosch Stiftung. Already in 2006, the new partnership
made it possible to jointly introduce an advanced training programme for
film students from Central and Eastern Europe. We are now gratified to
announce that in Wiesbaden in April 2007 the Robert Bosch Foundation will
for the first time present its Promotional Prize for Joint Film Productions
in the framework of goEast, the Festival of Central and Eastern European
Film. The foundation grants funding to three teams involving the cooperation
of young filmmakers from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe as well as Germany.
Prizes are awarded in the separate categories animated film, documentary,
and short film, with each of the three winning productions being able
to receive up to 70,000 euros in funds.
goEast enjoys an outstanding reputation among German film specialists
and has become a meeting-point for the film scenes of Central and Eastern
Europe. Focusing on East-West dialogue and cultural exchange, the festival
provides a forum in which the goals of either side can be jointly pursued.
It is therefore a highly appropriate platform for the awarding of the
Robert Bosch Stiftung’s Promotional Prize for Joint Film Productions
by Young German and Eastern/South-Eastern European Filmmakers, a distinction
and heightened incentive that will make the 2007 festival even more attractive
to young filmmakers.
