Berlinale camera

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Berlinale Camera is an award that has been presented every year since 1986 at the Berlin International Film Festival . The festival honors filmmakers and institutions to which it feels particularly connected. Awards are only given to people and institutions that are not represented with a film in the current competition. Several people and institutions usually receive this award at a festival.

Until 2003, the Berlinale Camera was founded by the jeweler David Goldberg from Berlin. The Georg Hornemann studio from Düsseldorf then donated the award from 2004 to 2013. It was Hornemann who redesigned the trophy for the 2008 Berlinale . It is a miniature of a real film camera and consists of 128 individual silver and titanium parts, many of which are movable.
