'9to5 - Days in Porn' screened at the prestigious film festival in Rio de Janeiro and another in London last month to sold out theatres. More details about all festival news can be found on the blog at www.9to5-themovie.com Director, Jens Hoffmann, also received another great honor by claiming an award for the third year in a row at the oldest and most important mountain and adventure film festival worldwide. 'Journey to the Center', produced by Ground Impact Inc. in Los Angeles, was awarded 'Best Documentary On Mountain Sports' at the Banff Mountain Film Festival in Canada.
Also, last week, '20 Seconds of Joy' received the "Mention d'honneur" at the 26th Milano International FICTS Festival. The film's own website is under construction and will be up soon. 14th September 2008 We receive many emails daily from around the world from people who had the chance to watch '20 Seconds of Joy'. This means a lot to us. It has been almost a year since the movie had its world premiere in Banff. From there, it went to some of the biggest international documentary festivals as well as non-documentary film festivals in the world. Karina Hollekim, the protagonist of the film, was actually present when '20 Seconds of Joy' was screened at the Sarajevo Film Festival two weeks ago. Not a single place on the stairs was left for viewers at the packed theatre. More importantly, though, is Karina's personal situation after the accident in 2006. Since then, she has continued to fight courageously to walk normally again. If you would like to know a bit more about her story, please go to: www.karinahollekim.com 8th September 2008

2007 was a busy but successful year for the F24 Team. The documentary, 20 Seconds of Joy, was finally completed in October and had its premiere the following month at the Banff Mountain Film Festival in Canada where it received two awards: “Best Film on Mountain” and “People’s Choice Award”. Receiving an audience award was a special honor but even more gratifying was knowing that the film which placed second in the same category was Sean Penn’s, Into the Wild.
