15th Documentarist – Istanbul Documentary Days

Three international critics run the only jury at the festival, with a focus on innovative/creative docs. The FIPRESCI award went to Love, Deutschmarks and Death “for its deep research effort, multilayered approach to culture and strong impact. The jury awarded this inspirational film for the contribution it makes to the better and mutual understanding of the value of cultural diversity, restoring the dignity of those who are historically and culturally neglected”.
