FOUR MINUTES: Further awards from Africa & France - written on 11.02.2008
During the course of this year’s 58th Berlin Film Festival, the Kordes & Kordes-produced feature FOUR MINUTES garnered another three international awards this Saturday and has now passed the total mark of 40 film prizes.
Director Chris Kraus accepted awards for "Best Feature Film" and "Best Actress" (Monica Bleibtreu) from the "6th International Images Film Festival" Harare in Zimbabwe, presented to him by Dr Jürgen Maier, Commercial Director of the Goethe Institute. "I’m completely astounded! Until today no one had told us that we won two awards in Africa.", Kraus told the 300 invitees attending the Goethe Institute Reception traditionally held at the Berlin Film Festival.
In addition, Producer Meike Kordes was awarded the "Coup de Foudre du Public" by weekly French industry paper "Ecran Total" and cultural channel "Canal Plus", honouring the great success FOUR MINUTES has been with French cinema audiences. The prize was determined via an audience survey by the paper, notes Serge Siritzky, CEO of "Ecran Total": "According to our weekly poll, the French public has been crazed by your film." The "Coup de Foudre du Public" is only awarded ten times a year. Within three weeks of its initial release in France, FOUR MINUTES had already attracted far over 100.000 spectators.
The prison-set love duel between two pianists played by Hannah Herzsprung and Monica Bleibtreu opens in the UK on March 3rd 2008 and in the US on April 18th 2008.
