Askania Award
The Askania Award has been presented by Askania AG since 2008 to artists who have made a contribution to the film . The award is intended to be a reminder of the time when the moving images made their first attempts at walking and thus the film tradition of the former Askania Werke AG remains in memory. Since then, personalities from the film industry have been honored with the 'Askania Award' and the 'Askania Shooting-Star Award' in the opening week of the Berlinale . Since 2016, Askania has also presented the Lifetime Achievement Award and, since 2018, the Askania Sport Award. A special award with a regularly changing topic is also planned from 2020. The winners receive an Askania watch of their own choice.
Since the 1920s, Askania produced innovative film cameras such as the Askania Universal in 1923 and the Askania Bi-Pack color camera in 1932. The first portable shoulder camera was developed by Askania in 1935 and shaped the international film industry. Films like the Blue Angel with Marlene Dietrich , Quax, the Bruchpilot with Heinz Rühmann and Berlin Ballade with Gert Fröbe were films that were shot with Askania film cameras. At the 1936 Summer Olympics , Askania precision instruments were used to measure time and cameras were used to record sporting highlights. Until the 1980s, the director and producer Wim Wenders shot with Askania film cameras. Volker Schlöndorff , Oscar winner, producer and director shot the black and white sequences of his film The Tin Drum with an Askania camera.
