One new film prize and lots of additional screenings!

May and June 2008 were packed with additional screenings of EVERY STEP YOU TAKE, especially in Germany and Austria.

The peak of this screening tour were two additional festival screenings in the UK and Austria, and at both festivals the film was nominated for an award.

First is the "Festival of Nations" ("Festival der Nationen") in Austria, where EVERY STEP YOU TAKE won the "Ebenseer Bear"!

Only one day later, on 22 June 2008, EVERY STEP YOU TAKE screened at the prestigious International Filmmaker Festival in Kent, UK. There, the film was nominated for "Best Documentary", among only three other films. Click here for the full list of nominations [PDF Link].
