PEER-RABEN-MUSIC-AWARD at SoundTrack_Cologne 7.0

SoundTrack_Cologne again awards the prize for the best music in a short film for young upcoming composers - the PEER-RABEN-MUSIC-AWARD.

For the PEER-RABEN-MUSIC-AWARD which has been awarded for the first time in 2009 we are looking again for the best music to a short film. Awarded will be film scores where the relationship between the narration and the music and sound is innovative and dramaturgically clear. The film music must mainly have been written for the film.

Oscar-winner Jan A.P. Kaczmarek is the special guest of SoundTrack_Cologne 7.0

When Jan A.P. Kaczmarek moved to the US from Poland in 1989 he could already look back at a career as an award-winning musician and composer for theatre. It was in the theatre that, initially, he succeeded in his new home country but soon the US movie industry discovered the skills of the composer who describes making music and composing as his personal religion. Following films such as LOST SOULS (2000), UNFAITHFUL (2002) and large-scale TV productions like WAR AND PEACE (2007) or THE KARAMAZOV BROTHERS (2009) he received the film music Oscar in 2005 for his score to Marc Forster’s film FINDING NEVERLAND. Kaczmarek, who has worked with major directors like, for example, Lasse Hallström, Agnieszka Holland, Lajos Koltai, Adrian Lyne and Janusz Kaminski, is the founder of the film music teaching institute Rozbitek on the German-Polish border.

SoundTrack_Cologne 7.0 will focus on the work of Jan A.P. Kaczmarek in workshop talks, screenings with live commentary and a masterclass. Additionally, Kaczmarek will chair the jury of the EUROPEAN TALENT AWARD.

Berlin Windhoek Film Night 2010

A cross-cultural exchange between representatives of art and politics in Berlin (Germany) and Windhoek (Namibia) will take place in October.


28 October 2010 is the day! The Berlin-Windhoek Film Night 2010 will take place at 8 pm in The Babylon Cinema in Berlin.

The opening film of the event is the film "Africa Light / Gray Zone" (2010) by Tino Schwanemann. "Africa Light / Gray Zone" tells the story of Namibia, "The Light of Africa". It is representing the development of identity for an entire continent: Between tradition and modernity, between the cattle and slums, between colonialism and the ownership reforms to the minimum wage for everyone. Namibia is neither black nor white - but infinitely gray.
Additional highlights of The Film Night will be the film "City Code" by Tabea Sternberg, other films by German and African filmmakers, a poetry slam performance in Windhoek, live music, a photography exhibition and the official reception by the chairmen of The German Namibian Association.

The Film Night will be held by the German Namibian Association in co-operation with the German TV broadcaster ZDF and will be supported by The Senate of Berlin, The German Department of State and Air Berlin.
