KASH KASH wins German Documentary Award
🎉 🎉 🎉 Congratulations to Lea Najjar & producer Matthias Drescher (FFL Film- und Fernseh-Labor) for winning the German Documentary Film Award!
The German Documentary Film Award is one of the most prestigious awards for filmmakers in the German documentary industry.
The main prize of 20,000 euros, donated by Südwestrundfunk (SWR) and Medien- und Filmgesellschaft Baden-Württemberg (MFG), was split this year, with half going to film director Lea Najjar for "Kash Kash - Without Feathers We Can't Live".
Jury statement for KASH KASH: "In this masterfully crafted film, filmmaker Lea Najjar and her editor Tobias Wilhelmer tell of the struggle for survival in times of political upheaval, of laughter and the longing for freedom in a sinking world."
