The awards went to director Sander Burger (for The Condemnation) and to Maurice Trouwborst and Jamille van Wijngaarden (for Floor’s rules† The award for the best podcast went to The Deventer Media storewhich was launched ahead of the premiere of the movie De Ververdeling.
Earlier this month, the prizes for the best Dutch screenplays of the year also went to The Conviction and Floor’s rules† The DDG Awards are presented by the directors’ union, the screenplay prizes by the Netwerk Scenario Writer, the screenwriters’ union.
The Condemnation reconstructs the Deventer murder case and especially the role that the media played in the affair. During the hearing of the lawsuit, pollster Maurice de Hond argued, without substantial evidence, that another perpetrator had committed the murder of widow Wittenberg. This image lingered for years, both among the public and journalists.
The youth series Floor’s rules is based on the book series of the same name by Marjon Hoffman. The NPO series revolves around the stubborn Floor. In her world, children, like adults, make up their own rules. Floor is faced with important dilemmas every episode. Floor is played by Bobbie Mulder.
