Bavarian Cinema Awards 2024
This morning, the Bavarian Cinema Program Awards were held at Cinecitta in Nuremberg. A total of 800,000.00 euros were allocated for 79 award-winning cinemas.
With this amount, the high level of prizes has been maintained since the Covid-19 pandemic. The top prize in 2024 goes to the Regina Filmtheater in Regensburg. Owner Doris Lerchl-Goldermann used her acceptance speech to advocate for sufficient cinema funding at the federal and state levels. The role of cinemas as curators and cultural creators, as described earlier by Minister Florian Herrmann, is crucial but also very demanding and must be supported by funding such as reference funding.
Bavaria’s Media Minister Florian Herrmann said in his speech that the state of Bavaria will support the rapid implementation of a comprehensive film funding reform to quickly close any gaps that have emerged and to not lose ground in production compared to European neighboring countries.
