Audience Award
The AUDIENCE AWARD at the BEYOND Festival 2025 goes to ‘Spiegelberg’ by director Adrian Sagolla.
Congratulations to Adrian Sagolla!
A small village deep in the Swabian Forest. The last village shop is about to close. Between nostalgia and decline, idyll and desolation, five people share their views on society and on a place that in many ways reflects a time that no longer exists. A documentary film that captures the spirit of life in the microcosm of a German village. The core theme, the fear of losing vital and essential infrastructure in rural areas, fits perfectly with Feuchtwangen, which has been considered the nucleus of the regional movement in Germany since the 1990s.
