Phoenix Documentary Award
The Phoenix Prize is a German film prize for documentary films . It has been donated annually by the event and documentation channel Phoenix since 2015 in cooperation with the Film Festival Cologne.
history
In 2001 the public television broadcasters WDR and ZDF donated the Phoenix Documentary Film Prize, which was awarded until 2005 at the Cologne Conference (CoCo) international film and television festival in Cologne. The prize was endowed with 10,000 D-Marks (or 5,000 euros). This was followed by a documentary film award sponsored by AZ Media in Cologne . The reason for the decision was that it was unreasonable to present the programs for the new sponsor Spiegel TV .
In 2009 the Filmstiftung Nordrhein-Westfalen and PHOENIX founded a new documentary film award, including sponsorship awards for project ideas. The main prize is endowed with 10,000 euros and is awarded on the proposal of a jury chaired by the WDR director. Other jurors included a. Michael Hirz , Christoph Minhoff and Michael Schmid-Ospach .
The Phoenix Prize has been awarded during the Film Festival Cologne since 2015 . The award is given to international documentary films in cinema format that deal with a current political or social topic in outstanding quality.
