Marieke, Marieke — festivals & awards

Festival launch

The film’s festival launch is tied to San Sebastián International Film Festival (2010). In festival terms, this matters because it anchors the film in a major A-list context and makes the title easy to verify for programmers, press, and archives. Industry catalogues and festival coverage consistently associate the film’s first major international exposure with San Sebastián in 2010.

If you are writing a short programme note, this single line is usually enough: Premiered at San Sebastián International Film Festival (2010).

Awards

Marieke, Marieke has a strong craft-focused award reference from Hof International Film Festival (2010). The Bild-Kunst prize at Hof is specifically tied to production design (setting) and costume design-exactly the kind of recognition that signals professional craft rather than popularity.

Bild-Kunst Award / Förderpreis (Hof, 2010)

• Best Setting (Production Design / Szenenbild): Astrid Pöschke - Marieke, Marieke
• Best Costume Design (Kostümbild): Nadine Kremeier - Marieke, Marieke

Editorial rule: keep award wording exact. Don’t rewrite this as “Best Film” or “Grand Prix” style language. It’s a craft award, and that specificity is what makes it credible.

Festival selections (curated list)

Festival lists can get messy when people copy partial databases. Below is a curated, readable list grouped by year, based on widely repeated industry and distributor listings.

How to cite this page in a programme note

If you need a clean paragraph for a brochure or festival catalogue, use this structure: title + year + countries + director + the one major festival anchor + the one craft award anchor. That’s enough to look professional without sounding like marketing.

Example (copy-ready): Marieke, Marieke (Belgium/Germany, 2010), written and directed by Sophie Schoukens, premiered at the San Sebastián International Film Festival. At Hof International Film Festival (2010), the film received the Bild-Kunst awards for Best Setting (Astrid Pöschke) and Best Costume Design (Nadine Kremeier).

Editorial note

If you add more festivals later, keep the format identical (year → bullet list) and only add an event if you can verify it via a distributor listing, a festival archive page, or an authoritative industry reference. Consistency and verifiability matter more than the length of the list.
