The 56 IFF Hof Documentary Award GRANIT, endowed with 7,5600 Euros, goes to SHADOW CHILD by Jo Müller, according to the jury consisting of Angeliki Antoniou, Günter Schwaiger and Jens Meurer. The prize is donated by the Hofer Hermann and Bertl Müller Foundation.
From the citation: "The soulful portrait of a stirring artist whose life is identical to his moving photography. The film is powerful, honest and unpretentious in an unpretentious way. Simple! Swabian! Great!"
WE ARE NOT ALONE: Documentaries have always been a particular focus at Hof International Film Festival. Society is a complex subject and this year’s documentaries offer a fine-tuned perspective on what is happening in our world. Many films deal with the impact of the pandemic, but also with other unsolved problems on this planet. But if we start to understand where these problems come from, if we begin to understand each other better, solutions can be found. At least, this is the motto of many of the films.
