GERMANY
In October 2007, there was also the Germany premiere of EVERY STEP YOU TAKE in the city of Osnabrück at the 22nd Independent FilmFest Osnabrueck ("22. Unabhängiges FilmFest Osnabrück").
EVERY STEP YOU TAKE was one of only a handful of films nominated for the "Friedensfilmpreis" (Peace Film Prize) of the city of Osnabrueck.
Director Nino Leitner flew in and attended the screening for a Q&A session after the screening. The German audience was very enthusiastic about the film and the Q&A session turned into a vivid discussion about various aspects the film brought up - also because of the fact that Osnabrueck's citizens themselves were facing their own recent installation of the first public video surveillance in the whole town - which of course stirred mixed opinions.

EVERY STEP YOU TAKE had its UK premiere at the 27th Cambridge Film Festival, and it was a great success. The documentary became a runner-up for the audience award, it is in the top ten list of this year's Cambridge Film Festival's most popular films.
Director Nino Leitner was available for a Q&A session right after the screening on July 12. He was confronted with a very interested, yet concerned audience that involved him in an interesting discussion about various aspects on the film.
The Q&A session was recorded in its entirety, you can watch it right here:
"I was very happy to be invited to this prestigious event, which is one of the UK's largest film festivals. The documentary finally reach its intended audience, the British people. The audience's reactions were very positive," states director Nino Leitner, "it really seems like the topic was being seen as underrepresented in British media not just by me".
"I've never before been to a festival that was as filmmaker-friendly as Cambridge Film Festival, the organizers were amazing. I hope to be invited again to Cambridge in the future, it was great fun!"
Please visit the official website of the 27th Cambridge Film Festival for details. Here you find the official festival listing of EVERY STEP YOU TAKE. Here you can find the official programme for this year's Cambridge Film Festival - find the entry for EVERY STEP YOU TAKE on page 46 or right here.
