It's probably rare for an award ceremony to be this lively: "It's almost at Eintracht level," said Mayor Mike Josef in his speech at the Binding Culture Award, which was conferred on us, Lichter Filmkultur, and our Lichter Filmfest on Saturday, June 17, 2023, in the Paulskirche. What a day, what a happiness, what an honor!

Bergit Gräfin Douglas presented the prestigious award as Chairwoman of the Board of the Binding Cultural Foundation. The laudatory speech was given by Claudia Dillmann, former director of the German Film Institute and Film Museum in Frankfurt am Main.

We say thank you to all the people we have had the pleasure of meeting, working with and learning from over the past 16 years.
