Jury DOK.edit Award – presented by Adobe 2024
For a long time, the finished film was created on the editing table. Even though the work processes are now digitalised, editing remains one of the most central and critical phases in the creation of every documentary film. To emphasise the importance of editing in documentary film, the DOK.edit Award - presented by Adobe 2024 will be awarded for the fourth time at DOK.fest München.
The award was developed in cooperation with Adobe, who are also the sponsors of the €5,000 prize. The award is intended to highlight the post-production of documentary films and honour the work of editors. Films with outstanding editing achievements are nominated; the prize is awarded across all genres.

Films edited by him have been shown at many international film festivals and have been honoured with the Bavarian Television Award, among others. As a lecturer, he has taught at HFF Munich and in Kenya as part of the "Learning Lions" training programme.
