kinokino Audience Award 2024 – sponsored by BR and 3sat
Voting for your personal film highlight!
With the kinokino Audience Award – donated by BR and 3sat, you have the opportunity to vote for your personal festival programme highlight at the dual DOK.fest München 2024. The name giver and media partner of the Audience Award is kinokino – Das Filmmagazin im Bayerischen Rundfunk | 3sat. The award is endowed with 2,000 euros, donated by BR, 3sat and DOK.fest München.
Votes were cast from Thursday, 2 May up to and including Thursday, 9 May 2024, with the final counting taking place on 10 May.
The winning film 2024 is JENSEITS VON SCHULD (Germany 2024, Katharina Köster, Katrin Nemec, 79 min.):
The media call their son the “patient killer.” He was given a life sentence for his numerous crimes. Life goes on for his parents Ulla and Didi Högel but nothing is the same as before. They must accept the bitter truth, figure out how to cope with everyday life and reposition themselves in relation to their child. A compelling, precisely observed film about parenthood and love.
