The Cinema Fairbindet, sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) was the first cross-section film award at the Berlinale.The movies should show the real-life conditions in partner countries without resorting to clichés – and make it clear that if development policy is to be effective in the future, commitment from the business world, civil society, and politics is needed.[3][4] In 2013, German Development Minister awarded the prize to the Palestinian actresses and the director Udi Aloni, Mariam Abu Khaled and Batoul Taleb for their film ART/Violence.They translate their mourning for the murdered Arab-Jewish founder of the Freedom Theatre, Juliano Mer-Khamis into artistic rebellion against patriarchal oppression and the Israeli occupation in their work.[7] The movie is about the African Freedom Movement in the 1960s and 1970s, and merges newly discovered archived materials on the violent confrontation with the colonial powers with quotes from Frantz Fanon's "The Wretched of the Earth", recited by Lauryn Hill.
