Festival prizes and participation
We produce our films to inform and entertain as many people as possible. Our audience is our jury, and when they like what they see we get our most important "awards". But it would be hypocrisy to say we do not cherish the festival awards. An international jury of our peers makes a serious judgement of our efforts. Often they weigh the film's artistic values with it's scientific content or it's argumentative strength. All these categories are of utmost importance to us, and we usually perform well in all of them.
