The Germans and the Mexicans have always had a love affair. (Think Beer and Polka) But when Ficg decided to honor Beki Probst a couple of years ago (or was it last year) who knew what the relationship would grow into.
At the Berlinale this year, Mexico was the first-ever country to be honored by the Festival. The Wall — the Berlin Wall and the Proposed Wall to further divide the two North American Nations of USA and Mexico — further unites them. After all, Berlin was alway Berlin and USA’s Southwest has always been Mexico. That’s why there are so many Mexicans there.
Now the Maguey Prize, the centerpiece of Ficg, is going to German film veteran Jürgen Brüning.
Congratulations Jurgen! Our own association goes back to those early days in the 90s when we were all getting to know each other. Here are IMDb’s listed credits of those years!
