The 15th edition of the Berlinale Co-Production Market has handed out its three awards after an extensive series of 1,300 meetings for its 36 selected projects (see the news). Cramming in one extra day this year, unspooling from 17-21 February, the market featured a special focus on narrative cinema.

Israeli writer-director Hagar Ben-Asher received the prestigious Eurimages Co-Production Development Award, valued at €20,000, for her project The War Has Ended, produced by Viola FügenMichael Weber (Match Factory Productions, Germany), Klaudia SmiejaBeata Rzeźniczek (Madants, Poland), and Marek Rozenbaum (Transfax Film Productions, Israel). The story follows ten-year-old Lily, who is alone in post-war Poland and has been betrayed by her childhood. She is convinced by Joseph, a puppeteer, to follow him in his touring theatre. Lily hopes to have a brighter future with him, but she will come to understand that Joseph has different intentions. The War Has Ended in fact left with an impressive stash, as the project also received the €6,000 ARTE International Prize.
