GEWINNER DES AUDIENCE AWARDS FOR BEST FICTION FEATURE

GEWINNER DES GOLDEN PUNT AWARD FOR BEST DISCOVERY FEATURE

“We flash further back to 1945, the Soviets are approaching, the war is lost and the Czechs wreak revenge on their Austrian neighbours by taking all their property. Here we encounter Miriam’s mother Viktoria, who stoically refuses to leave her native home, the house and inn she lives in and a precious tiled stove that she owns. Susanne Michel completes a trio of outstanding actors who carry the story to its tender conclusion. Viktoria has gone through hell; her daughter and her daughter are infected with the pain. Can there be some closure between Hannah and her mother? Go see the film to find out.” Cambridge Film Festival Awards Inaugural Golden Punt Jury Award to "Nebelkind - The End of Silence" (www.thecambridgecritique.com)
GEWINNER DES GOLDEN PUNT AWARD FOR BEST DISCOVERY FEATURE

The film, directed by Tereza Kotyk, was selected from a shortlist of outstanding new works curated by the CFF programming panel. The jury, chaired by Dr. Geoffrey Maguire and including notable figures such as Dorothy Byrne, former head of News and Current Affairs at Channel 4; filmmaker and film policy expert Nasheed Qamar Faruqi; and Dr. Xin Peng, Assistant Professor in Film and Screen Studies at Cambridge University, praised "Nebelkind" for its profound narrative and thematic depth.

"Nebelkind encapsulates the idea of discovery, exposing the traumatic stories that weave themselves within families and between generations," stated the jury. "It tackles an overlooked story of European history for women, particularly emphasizing themes of sexual violence, forced displacement, and historical trauma that resonate powerfully today."
