Lotte Reiniger Promotion Award for Animated Film
During its anniversary year 2010, the MFG Film Funding Baden-Württemberg presented the Lotte Reiniger Award for Animated Film for the first time. The regional funding institution, founded in 1995, awards this prize as part of its long-term commitment to animated film in southwestern Germany. To date, the MFG has funded the development, production, and distribution of 110 animated films and series with a total of over 8.7 million euros.
The annual Stuttgart Festival of Animated Film (ITFS), which showcases numerous animated films funded by the MFG, has contributed toward strengthening Baden-Württemberg's growing importance as a location for animated film.
The award includes a monetary prize of 10,000 Euros and honors the best final project from a film school.
