Press Release- Halle (Saale), 5.9.2019 // European Media Art Platform / European Media Artists in Residence Exchange 2020 and 2021

The Berlinale awarded their coveted Golden and Silver Bears on Saturday evening, 16.2.1019. These were not only for the long feature films, but also the short films, which are widely regarded as a talent factory for the future. Werkleitz is therefore extremely pleased to congratulate the winners of two supported productions: EMARE (European Media Artist in Residence Exchange) scholarship holder Manuel Abramovich received the Silver Bear for the best short film for his work Blue Boy, produced with EMARE and Werkleitz, in which seven Romanian sex workers reflect on their jobs. The film shows their faces while they listen to the audio recordings of their own stories. The EMARE scholarship, initiated by Werkleitz in 1995 and supported by Saxony-Anhalt and the EU, is now awarded annually by the European Media Art Platform to 11 talented media artists throughout Europe.
