UNERHÖRT! award 2024 goes to MONA MUR
The UNERHÖRT! audience award 2024 goes to the film MONA MUR IN CONVERSATION by Dietmar Post. The 86-minute interview film traces the biography of the Hamburg-born artist’s work to date, the stages of self-determined creativity that began in West Germany’s early 80s post-punk scene.
A cleverly constructed experimental set-up combines speaking in front of the camera, off-camera questions and illustrative visual and audio material to create a captivating narrative of a life lived according to her own ideas without concessions – presented in a dry, straightforward, self-concious and eloquent manner by a great artist to be (re)discovered.
The fact that the film, completed only two days before its screening, received an award from the audience in its protagonist’s home town the day after its world premiere, can only be described as kitsch!
