A wonderful day, Frau Chinbuah.
I wanted to thank you once again very sincerely for a great event -
including on behalf of our clients and of our team. We all enjoyed the
evening very much - the friendly reception, the lively atmosphere, the
delicious food, the whole supporting programme - and naturally also the
awards. We had really given no thought at all to the Grand Prix - and our
pleasure was thus all the greater. And above all for our clients it was a
valuable confirmation of their choice of partner. MANY THANKS. The
journey to Hamburg from the south of Germany was once again, as in the past
two years, a real highlight.
Einen wunderschönen Tag, Frau Chinbuah.
Ich wollte mich nochmal ganz herzlich bei Ihnen für die tolle
Veranstaltung bedaken. Auch im Namen unserer Kunden und meines Teams. Wir
alle haben den Abend sehr genossen - der freundliche Empfang, die
stimmungsvolle Atmosphäre, das leckere Essen, das gesamte Rahmenprogramm
und - natürlich auch die Preise. Mit dem Grand Prix hatten wir ja nun
überhaupt nicht gerechnet - die Freude darüber war umso grösser.
Und vor allem auch für unseren Kunden eine wertvolle Bestätigung seiner
Partnerwahl. VIELEN DANK. Die Reise nach Hamburg vom Süden der Republik aus
war wie schon in den beiden Jahren zuvor ein echtes Highlight.

Dear Frau Chinbuah,
I was very pleased about the award of the intermedia-globe Gold for our youth
programme "freiraum", which went out on Bavarian Broadcasting's educational
channel BR-alpha. Thanks to this prize we also experienced a wonderful evening
at the awards ceremony in Hamburg on 13 May. On behalf of my colleagues and the
production company INTER/AKTION as well, I would also very much like to thank
you personally for this high-level recognition. We would all be happy to
travel to Hamburg again next year for the awards ceremony.
Sehr geehrte Frau Chinbuah,
über die Verleihung des intermedia-globes in Gold für unsere Jugendsendung
"freiraum", die im Bildungskanal des Bayer. Rundfunks BR-alpha lief, habe ich
mich sehr gefreut. Dank dieser Auszeichnung haben wir auch einen wunderbaren
Abend bei der Preisverleihung am 13.5.09 in Hamburg erlebt. Auch im Namen
meiner Kollegen und der Produktionsfirma "INTER/AKTION möchte ich mich
gerade auch bei Ihnen persönlich für diese hohe Anerkennung recht
herzlich bedanken. Gerne würden wir auch wieder im nächsten Jahr nach
Hamburg zu einer Preisverleihung fahren.

Dear Frau Chinbuah,
many thanks again, this time in writing, for the great evening in Hamburg. It's
always terrific, the way you encounter colleagues there whom you know from
other contexts entirely. So we had a very pleasant meeting up with the people
from WDR. We regualrly work as a production company for the station. I would
like to express my praise again for the outstandingly smooth running and the
great atmosphere.
Sehr geehrte Frau Chinbuah,
auf schriftlichem Wege nochmal vielen Dank für den schönen Abend in
Hamburg! Es ist auch immer wieder toll, auf welche Kollegen man dort stösst,
mit denen man in ganz anderen Bereichen zu tun hat. So gab es bei uns ein sehr
nettes Zusammentreffen mit den Gästen vom WDR. Wir arbeiten als
Produktionsfirma ja auch immer wieder für den Sender. Ich möchte
Ihnen aber nochmals ein Lob für den hervorragenden Ablauf und die
schöne Atmosphüre aussprechen!
Herzlichen Gruß

Dear Cora Chinbuah, dear intermedia-Team,
this is to say a big thank you for the wonderful days we spent at the
WorldMediaFestival 2008. We took part for the first time this year and
thoroughly enjoyed it. It was much more, much bigger, much grander that we
expected. Perfect organisation meant that a very personal, relaxed atmosphere
was able to develop. Interesting contributions, interesting international
contacts and no trace of competitive thinking: it was like the gathering of one
large family, and was enormous fun.
The icing on the cake was the Awards Gala. Quite genuinely, we don't believe
even an Oscar winner could feel happier than intermedia-globe winners when they
are honoured on stage. You kept your promise that "we celebrate the winners" in
every sense. Once again a heartfelt thank you to the whole intermedia- team. We
are already looking forward to seeing you in Hamburg again.
Liebe Cora Chinbuah, liebes intermedia-Team,
auf diesem Wege ein grosses Dankeschön für die wundervollen Tage beim
WorldMediaFestival 2008. Wir hatten erstmals teilgenommen und waren begeistert.
Es war viel mehr, viele größer, viel glanzvoller, als wir erwartet
hatten. Die perfekte Organisation ließ eine sehr persönliche,
ungezwungene Atmosphäre entstehen. Interessante Beiträge,
interessante internationale Kontakte und keine Spur von Konkurrenzdenken; es
war wie das Treffen einer großen Familie und hat uns riesig Spaß
gemacht.
Das Sahnehäubchen war die Awards Gala. Ganz ehrlich, wir glauben nicht,
dass sich ein "Oscar-Gewinner" glücklicher fühlen kann als ein
"intermedia globe-Gewinner", wenn er auf der Bühne geehrt wird. Euer
Versprechen "we celebrate the winners!" habt Ihr im wahrsten Sinne gehalten.
Nochmals von ganzem Herzen Danke an das gesamte intermedia-Team! Wir freuen uns
schon auf ein Wiedersehen in Hamburg.

Dear World Media-Team.
first of all many thanks again for the delightful Festival. We were very taken
by the festive surroundings and the international presence. It was very
exciting to get to know not just the work that had come out of Sweden, Finland,
England, Spain, etc, but also those responsible for it. A fantastic band was
consolation for the perhaps too comprehensive ceremony.
Liebes WorldMedia-Team,
zunächst noch mal herzlichen Dank für das schöne Festival. Wir
waren sehr angetan von dem festlichen Rahmen und dem internationalen Publikum.
Es war sehr spannend nicht nur die Arbeiten aus Schweden, Finnland, England,
Spanien, Japan etc. kennen zu lernen, sondern auch die Macher dahinter. Eine
fantastische Band tröstete über die vielleicht etwas zu ausführliche
Zeremonie hinweg.

Dear Cora,
it is great summer here in Finland. I have a great pleasure to inform you that
me and Emiko Okumura, we have decided to organize a co-exhibition here in
Hämeenlinna 3.9.-9.9.2007, and all this because of You and
WorldMediafestival. Thank You!
We met, Emiko and me, the first time in Hamburg, year 2002 ( ? ) at the
WorldMediaFestival. So, I can say with my heart, that "at WorldMediaFestival
you can win many kind of awards, like new friends..."
Now it is a good reason for you to come to Finland too !
Warmest regards from Hämeenlinna ( + 26 Celcius degree )

Dear Cora-san,
how have you been? In Japan, there was a massive earthquake yesterday.
As Osaka is far from the hypocenter, I am well.
By the way, I would like to say thank you very much.
Because we will be having a screening event in Finland in this September
(3/9-9/9).
This event is a co-exhibition with Mrs Maija from Suomen Visiotalo Oy.
We will show our videos about Japanese housing architecture and landscape there.
I met Mrs. Maija at your festival in 2001 and we became the friends.
Without your festival, we wouldn't have been able to have this event.
We are interested what Finnish people think about Japanese housing culture,
Japanese landscape and Japanese film.
Thank you very very much, Cora-san.
I appreciate your kindness and support.
Many thanks,
Emiko

Hi Cora,
First of all I want to congratulate you with the organisation of the World
Media Festival. We, the Belgium delegation of VRT, had a fantastic evening and
we're very glad by winning this award. Next week, we'll give it to our boss. We
worked with 4 peoples on this documentary … and it would be great if we had
something to remember on this documentary and the price. Is it possible to have
a replica of our price so we have each such a trophy? If not, no worries, we'll
have good memories to your festival.
Greetings

Dear Frau Chinbuah,
Unfortunately it has taken me until today to thank you personally for the
very successful WorldMediaFestival 2006. The WorldMediaFestival 2006 was a
gathering of creative people from the film and television industries of 25
countries. That resulted for me in interesting encounters, discussions and
stimulus for my own work. The major closing event in the Delphi Show Palast,
which you directed discreetly and competently in the background, united
everyone in the pleasure of being there. I wish you every success for the
WorldMediaFestival.
Sehr geehrte Frau Chinbuah,
ich komme leider erst heute dazu, mich bei Ihnen persönlich für das
sehr gelungene WorldMediaFestival 2006 zu bedanken.
Das WorldMediaFestival 2006 war ein Treffen von Kreativen aus der Film- und
Fernsehbranche aus 25 Nationen. Für mich gab es interessante
Begegnungen, Gespräche und Anregungen für die eigene Arbeit. Die
große Abschlussveranstaltung im Delphi-Showpalast, die Sie diskret und
kompetent aus dem Hintergrund lenkten, vereinte alle in der Freude, dabei
gewesen zu sein.
Viel Erfolg für das WorldMediaFestival 2007 wünscht Ihnen
Hans-Joachim Herbst

Dear Cora and Sara,
I hope you are both keeping well! I'm sorry that I am just getting around to
emailing you now - I can't believe the award ceremony was a week last
Wednesday - how time flies!!
Many, many thanks for your warm hospitality and efficiency. It was a
wonderful event and it was great to have the opportunity to participate in
it. I met some really interesting people and even an Irish colleague who I
didn't realise was attending!
We have our intermedia Award up on the shelf in the office and are very proud
of it!
I hope you have time for a well deserved break before you begin preparing for
the World Media Festival 2007 and have a wonderful summer.

Dear Cora,
A very Good Day to you in Hamburg, and hope that this e-mail finds all of you
well.
Firstly, on behalf of Ms. Janetbon, our Executive Producer/Electronic
Cinematographer, we would both like to say a BIG THANK YOU to you and the
entire team at "intermedia," who so wonderfully organised an event that would
be remembered for a long time to come.
For Jigsaw MCMXCV, it was a glorious moment; winning the Gold Award in the
"Internal Communications" Category for "The Philosophy of Yehan Numata," BUT
more so, for the warmth and friendliness that we received from your
organisation. Who would have thought that it was our first attendance? Our
THANKS further extend to, especially Sara, Amin, and Kojo whom we had the
chance of getting acquainted with (smile). Let us also take this opportunity
to wish "intermedia" all the very BEST and may the "WorldMediaFestival"
continue to be THE EVENT to showcase the extensive productions in modern
media across the globe ...It was a great pleasure meeting you . . . As you so
rightfully put it, "after all : it's all about
communications................" (all smiles).
Thank you.

Dear Cora,
Time flies. A month already since we met in Hamburg. I want to thank you
again for the invitation - and the awards! The special UN - award really took
me by surprise. The news was received with great joy back home. The people
involved in the films story "A nose for danger" (Apopo Foundation trains rats
to find land-mines) are confident that the prize will open doors
internationally. As a matter of fact, the Belgian Minister For Foreign
Affairs Karel de Gucht, mentioned the story while on a visit in Zagreb and
the Croatian television asked for a copy of the film! Thanks again.

my wife and I had a wonderful time in Hamburg and at the WorldMediaFestival!
We are so happy that we got a chance to tour the city for the brief time that
we were in town.
We were told to go have dinner at the Yacht Club, but that will have to be
next time...
The ceremony was a lot of fun and was run with great professionalism. I was
honoured to be a part of it. We hope to return for many more years to come.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your festival is the best I have ever
attended, including the ten N.Y. Film Festivals I have been to.
Congratulations to you and all those involved in putting on a wonderful and
memorable festival. As I said on stage when I accepted the gold award for "A
Second Chance", I'm glad you were persistant in convincing me to attend. It
was one of the highlights of my professional career. . . ..
Thanks again Cora, you are a delightful person and you did a marvellous job
in putting together one of the world's premiere media festivals media
festivals. Congratulations. If we are fortunate enough to earn another award
next year I hope to see you then.

SENIOR MANAGER HEAD OF AUDIOVISUAL COMMUNICATION
EADS EUROPEAN AERONAUTIC DEFENCE AND SPACE COMPANY, GERMANY
First of all heartiest congratulations on the extremely successful event
based around acknowledging this year's WorldMediaFestival's prize winners.
You succeeded in making what is essentially a tedious business - calling the
prize winners, shaking hands, photos, thank you to the world - into a
colourful and enjoyable party. Linked with these congratulations is naturally
my thanks for the masterly organisation - managing to guide some 300 creative
people down orderly paths and keep them there. My guests and I were really
most impressed and are already looking forward to the next occasion.
Liebe Frau Chinbuah,
zunächst ganz herzlichen Glückwunsch für die
äußerst gelungene Veranstaltung rund um die Siegerehrung der
diesjährigen Preisträger des WorldMediaFestivals.
Es ist Ihnen gelungen aus einer per se eigentlich eher drögen
Angelegenheit - Aufruf der Preisträger / Händeschütteln /
Photo / Dank an den "Rest der Welt..." / Abgang - ein buntes
vergnügliches Fest zu machen. Verbunden ist dieser Glückwunsch
natürlich mit meinem herzlichen Dank für die organisatorische
Meisterleistung, immerhin rund 300 Kreative über viele Stunden hinweg in
geordnete Bahnen zu lenken und dort auch zu behalten. Meine Gäste und
ich waren wirklich rundum sehr angetan und freuen uns schon auf das
nächste Mal! Herzliche Grüße !
CHRISTINA KAHLERT
GESCHÄFTSFÜHRERIN
INDOC INDUSTRIE- UND FERNSEHFILM GMBH, GERMANY
We did not want to miss the opportunity to thank you again very sincerely on
behalf of our client for a successful Festival. We would like to underline
what the winner of the Grand Prix said at the awards ceremony. We, too, would
like the WorldMediaFestival to become The international festival. There are
many reasons for that. The internationalism achieved at the first attempt is
impressive. Each entrant is measured against international competition - but
likewise can draw international comparisons, and learn from them. The jury is
international. Many productions are after all not conceived just for the
German market and must work internationally - so they can be judged by
international standards. The variety of categories makes it easy to enter a
production where it really belongs - without having to make compromises. In
that way, comparable media are only compared with each other. The promise to
take considerable account in the judging of how well the target audience is
addressed was kept. Thank you that it was not the case - as it is with other
festivals - that only those who have poured money into a project get
recognised. The awards ceremony was an experience - and I'm sure not just for
those who won awards. The setting was original, and the presentation
refreshingly relaxed. There are so many starchy awards ceremonies. A personal
opinion to conclude with. There are so many hideous trophies. In that respect
as well, your Festival distances itself considerably from its competitors. We
look forward to the next WorldMediaFestival already.
Sehr geehrte, liebe Frau Chinbuah,
wir möchten es nicht versäumen, uns auch im Namen unsers
Auftraggebers noch mal ganz herzlich für das gelungene Festival zu
bedanken. Was der Gewinner des GrandPrix bei der Preisverleihung auf der
Bühne sagte, möchten wir unterstreichen. Auch wir wünschen
uns, daß das WorldMediaFestival zu dem internationalen Festival wird.
Dafür gibt es eine Vielzahl von Gründen:
Die auf Anhieb erreichte Internationalität besticht. Der Einreicher
muß sich einer internationalen Konkurrenz stellten, kann aber selbst
auch internationale Vergleiche ziehen - und etwas daraus lernen. Die Jury ist
international besetzt. Viele Produktionen sind schließlich nicht nur
den deutschen Markt gedacht und müssen international funktionieren, also
auch international beurteilt werden.
Die Vielfalt der Kategorien macht es einem leicht, seine Produktion auch
wirklich da unterzubringen wo sie hinpasst - ohne Kompromisse machen zu
müssen. Damit werden dankenswerter Weise auch nur vergleichbare Medien
einander gegenübergestellt.
Das Versprechen, die zielgruppenadäquate Umsetzung bei der Beurteilung
ganz wesentlich ins Kalkül zu ziehen, wurde eingelöst. Danke,
daß nicht - wie bei vielen anderen Festivals- nur der zum Zug kommt,
bei dem das Geld von der Leinwand tropft. . .
Die Preisverleihung war ein Erlebnis - sicher nicht nur für die
Preisträger. Der Rahmen war sehr
originell, die Moderation erfrischend
locker. Es gibt ja so viele steife Preisverleihungen.
Eine ganz persönliche Meinung am Schluß: Es gibt ja soviel
scheußliche Trophäen. Auch hier hebt sich Ihr Festival sehr
positiv von vielen anderen Wettbewerben ab.
Wir freuen uns schon auf das nächste WorldMediaFestival.

With the WorldMediaFestival still resonating, I would like to thank very
sincerely for the excellent organisation of the competition - and also
especially for the successful awards ceremony. As always, your work
demonstrated great professionalism. Please pass on these thanks, which I am
expressing on behalf of my colleagues, to your team. We are already looking
forward to the next time around, and hope to be part of it again.
Sehr geehrte Frau Chinbuah,
im Nachklang zum WorldMediaFestival möchte ich mich bei Ihnen ganz
herzlich für die ausgezeichnete Organisation des Wettbewerbes, auch ganz
besonders für die gelungene Verleihungsveranstaltung bedanken. Ihre
Arbeit zeugt wie immer von hoher Professionalität. Bitte leiten Sie
diesen Dank, den ich auch im Namen meiner Kollegen aussprechen, an Ihr Team
weiter.
Wir freuen uns schon auf die nächste Runde und hoffen, wieder dabei sein
zu können!

Dear Cora,
Thank you for the honour and privilege of the invitation to come to Hamburg
to receive the Silver on behalf of the Visitors' Bureau and Samoa.
My congratulations to you for such a realised vision! It was great to meet up
again with you and your good husband and you have laid such a good foundation
to build on for future Film Festivals. I thoroughly enjoyed the Award
Ceremony from the Shuttle Boat Ride to the end of the Buddy Holly Show not to
mention the actual awards. A great moment for Samoa.

Dear Cora!
What a beautiful experience your festival was!
I have been to a couple of festivals now and worldmediafestival was one of
the best arranged and you certainly have the capacity to grow. Hamburg is a
very nice town and the beer is good. And the Sekt. Thank you very, very, very
much and also congratulations! I am already looking forward to the next
WorldMediaFestival.

Dear Cora,
back home in Gothenburg I am delighted to take with me all the memories from
the WorldMediaFestival in Hamburg! It was a professionally run event, and I
am glad that our film and media production company Dockhouse participated.
Not only because we won the Grand Prix but also because we thin Europe really
needs a festival like this. It is important for the growth of our business
and it is important for our clients. No other type f event can give us both
the excitement of a competition, plus the chance to meet and exchange ideas
with interesting people and - at the same time - create an interest big
enough at the news desks of newspapers and magazines back home to write about
you, your company, your production, your client and the festival. As we see
it everyone is a winner at the WorldMediaFestival in Hamburg. We are very
glad for the early success of your event, and we will back next year.

Many thanks for the excellent evening....I must congratulate you
wholeheartedly. The whole occasion was so well organised and was a lot of
fun. I've been to lots of awards ceremonies. But yours paid loving care to
all the details. Thank you for the opportunity of being there. Wishing you a
pleasant Whitsun holiday.
Liebe Frau Chinbuah,
vielen Dank für den schönen Abend. . . . Ich muss Ihnen ein
riesiges Lob aussprechen: Die Veranstaltung war so super organisiert und hat
viel Spaß gemacht. Ich war schon bei vielen Preisverleihungen. Aber
Ihre war einfach mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Vielen Dank, dass wir dabei sein
konnten. Ihnen ein schönes Pfingstfest!

Dear Cora,
. . .Both my clients and I very much enjoyed attending the awards evening in
Hamburg on the 15th May. We had a great time and may I congratulate you and
the festival team on your hard efforts in putting together a wonderful show.
I am sorry we did not get the opportunity to talk with you on the evening,
but unfortunately we were unable to get much more time off to enjoy the
screenings day and also to see more of Hamburg. . .
With very best regards . . .

PRÄSIDENT DES BUNDESVERBANDES DEUTSCHER FILM- UND AV-PRODUZENTEN
Ute and I would again like to thank you very much indeed for the invitation
to the screening and the successful gala evening. We enjoyed it very much and
hope that it will be just as good next year even that means an enormous
amount of work for you. With its excellent showing of prize winning films and
the short presentations in the auditorium, as well as the awards ceremony at
the Delphi, the worldmediafestival has certainly, in my view, placed itself
at the head of German festivals and congresses. It was very interesting,
informative, entertaining, international and well organised.
Once again thank you, thank you, thank you
.
Liebe Cora, lieber Kojo,
Ute und ich möchten Euch nochmals recht herzlich für die Einladung
für das Screening und für den gelungenen Gala-Abend danken. Es hat
uns sehr gut gefallen und wir hoffen dass es genauso schön im
nächsten Jahr wird, auch wenn es für Euch viel, viel Arbeit ist.
Durch die exzellente Vorführung der Preisträger-Filme mit den
kurzen Vorträgen im Auditorium und die Preisverleihung im Delphi hat das
wwworldmediafestival sich sicherlich, so wie ich es sehe, an die Spitze
unserer deutschen Festivals oder Kongresse gesetzt. Es war sehr interessant,
informativ, kurzweilig, international und gut organisiert.
Nochmals Danke,Danke,Danke. Liebe Grüße. . .

Dear Cora,
Still filled with emotions of winning the BIG price of the
Worldmediafestival, I think every day of that wonderful experience. Every
minute of the day I am still thinking about it, as if it were a dream. Is
this real? Did I really win this prize on a very challenging festival with
lots and lots of quality programs ? It was such a good feeling to know that
the jury understands what I did. . . . I also find that the low profile
presence of jury members was perfect. In Belgium I have never been nominated
for a price on local festivals. On some occasions some members of the jury
criticised my film: I have a bad influence on youth, too much sex, too much
violence. In Germany though, you understood I use the language of the young
one to teach them about something else: the danger of the HIV-virus.
THANKS, THANKS, THANKS.

In our hectic daily lives we tend to dedicate ourselves much too quickly to
our ‚normal' work after a few moments of celebration. Nevertheless I would to
like to express my recogntion of this year's worldmediafestival. The film we
entered faced extraordinarily strong competition as well as a high-quality
international jury. Seen in that light, the two prizes our entry won take on
a particular gleam. The awards will certainly make an effective contribution
to our PR work. The granting of special awards from organisations such as the
German PR Society and the UN Department of Public Information brings the
Festival additional renown. My overall impression at the end of the day was
of professional preparation and event organisation.
Frau Chinbuah, I congratulate you once again on the worldmediafestival - a
highly successful initiative.
Best wishes from Berlin!
Sehr geehrte Frau Chinbuah,
in unserem hektischen Geschäftsalltag neigen wir allzu oft dazu, nach
kurzen Momenten der Festlichkeit uns viel zu schnell wieder der "normalen"
Tagesordnung zu widmen. Ich möchte dennoch an dieser Stelle meine
Anerkennung im Zusammenhang mit dem diesjährigen worldmediafestival zum
Ausdruck bringen.
Der von uns für den Wettbewerb eingereichte Film traf auf eine
außerordentlich starke Konkurrenz sowie auf eine hochkarätige
internationale Jury. Vor diesem Hintergrund erhalten die zwei Auszeichnungen
unseres Wettbewerbs-Beitrags einen besonderen Glanz. Die gewonnenen Preise
werden mit Sicherheit effektvoll zu unserer PR-Arbeit beitragen. Die
Verleihung von Special Awards durch Organisationen wie die Deutsche Public
Relations Gesellschaft oder die Department of Public Information der
Vereinten Nationen schenkt dem Festival zusätzliches Renommée. Meinen
Gesamteindruck rundet zu guter letzt die professionelle Vorbereitung und
Veranstaltungsorganisation ab. Frau Chinbuah, ich gratuliere Ihnen noch
einmal zum worldmediafestival, eine gelungene Initiative! Beste
Grüße aus Berlin!

The stay in Hamburg was an inspiration for the team. I regret very much that
I couldn't make the date, and have made myself a promise to make up for that

Sehr geehrte Frau Chinbuah,
der Aufenthalt in Hamburg hat das Team begeistert. Ich bedauere es sehr, dass
ich den Termin nicht wahrnehmen konnte und habe mir fest vorgenommen dies

The worldmediafestival has given me the possibility of getting an overview of
the industrial film sector in the shortest possible time. After one day I
know what "state of the art" is. In the evening I then have the chance to
meet sponsors, directors and producers in a pleasant atmosphere.
How could I invest my money better?
Das Worldmediafestival gibt mir die Möglichkeit, in
kürzester Zeit einen überblick im Industriefilmsektor zu bekommen.
Nach einemTag weiß ich, was zur Zeit "State of the Art" ist. Am Abend
habe ich die Möglichkeit bei angenehmer Atmosphäre Auftraggeber,
Regisseure und Produzenten persönlich kennen zu lernen. Wie kann ich
meine Geld besser investieren ?
Herzliche Grüße und nur das Beste für den Tag . . .

Dear Mrs. Chinbuah,
On behalf of all my colleagues in LACON Design we would like to thank you
very much for the intermedia-Globe GRAND AWARD and the wonderful event! Both
the perfectly-organised screening and the successful presentation of the
awards exceeded our wildest expectations! We were particularly pleased by the
international nature of the others sitting at our table at the gala dinner.
As a result, we have been able to return to Lake Constance with not only many
unforgettable impressions and the award, but also new friends in Japan, Italy
and the United States. We enjoyed the WorldMediaFestival very much and
already look forward to being there again next year.
Liebe Frau Chinbuah,
auch im Namen aller Mitarbeiter von LACON design möchten wir uns
für den intermedia-Globe GRAND AWARD und die wunderbare Veranstaltung
herzlich bedanken! Sowohl das perfekt organisierte Screening als auch die
gelungene Award-Verleihung haben unsere kühnsten Vorstellungen
übertroffen! Besonders gefreut hat uns die internationale
Zusammenstellung unserer Tischnachbarn beim Gala-Dinner. Somit konnten wir
nicht nur mit den vielen unvergesslichen Eindrücken und dem Award,
sondern auch mit neuen Freunden aus Japan, Italien und den USA an den
Bodensee zurückkehren. Wir haben das WorldMediaFestival sehr genossen
und freuen uns schon jetzt darauf, im nächsten Jahr wieder mit dabei zu
sein!

Dear Cora,
I apologize for the delay in my response. I have only just returned to New

and Bangladesh. First, I wanted to thank you for everything. The event was a
real success and my co-producers and I were thrilled! . . .

Dear Ms. Cora Chinbuah-san,
How are you? It was a very wonderful Festival. They were days like a dream
for me. Thank you very very very much really. I appreciate your endeavor. It
was good to see the image of the world of us. You were allowed to be able to
become the person of the world and an acquaintance. I who says again am
really grateful. I appreciate your attention to the matter. A new work is
made toward the next year.
HAGEN GOTTSCHALCK

Still completely bewitched by the wonderful evening yesterday at the
WorldMediaFestival awards ceremony, I wanted once again to thank you and your
team very sincerely for a magnificent Festival. It really is something
special to receive an award at such an outstanding Festival, and to win the
Grand Prix is as if one had won an Oscar. We are all pretty proud of the
honours which we received yesterday. For us, as a relatively new film
production company, this recognition is fantastic confirmation of the
quality of our work and also motivates us for our next projects (with which
we hope to attending again over the next few years). Many thanks and have a
great day.
Liebe Cora Chinbuah,
noch immer ganz verzaubert von dem wunderbaren Abend gestern bei der
Preisverleihung des WorldMediaFestival, wollte ich mich noch mal ganz
herzlich bei Dir und Deinem Team für dieses grossartige Festival
bedanken! Auf einem so hervorragenden Festival ausgezeichnet zu werden ist
wirklich etwas besonderes und den Grand Prix zu gewinnen, ist als ob man den
Oscar bekommen hätte. Wir sind alle ziemlich stolz auf die
Auszeichnungen, die wir gestern erhalten haben. Für uns, als noch
relativ junge Filmproduktion, ist diese Anerkennung eine phantastische
Bestätigung unserer Arbeit und auch eine Motivation für die
nächsten Projekte (mit denen wir hoffentlich in den nächsten Jahren
wieder dabei sein werden). Vielen Dank und einen wunderschönen Tag
noch!

Dear Cora,
back in Helsinki, full of energy and excitement. Thank you so much for a
wonderful event. At least for me it was a well deserved break to charge
batteries. Please, make it two days session next year. We could see more
films screened (not just in the video library). My opinion has always been
that when I leave Finland for an international festival, I want to be abroad
at least three or four days. So, I spend time in Hamburg anyway. Think about
it. And thank you for the Grand Award. Hemmo and Tauno were totally shook up
and even I (normally prepared for anything) was surprised and happy.

Dear Cora Chinbuah,
Thank you the other day. I was very much impressed at the very exciting

want to try it in the step which the next is to again. I am looking forward
to the day which it can see again.

Dear Cora and Kojo,
I came back to Japan in safety. Thank you very very much for the wonderful
awards night. And thank you for your kind help for my guest. It was a great
honor for me to get the intermedia globe-Silver and to be charged with the
important duty as a presenter on stage. Your festival is just worldwide.
Whenever I attend your festival, I can communicate with many people of many
countries. The experiences are very exciting. Thank you again for everything
you did. I would like to come again next year to make a excellent film.
Many many thanks from Emiko

Good evening Mrs. Chinbuah,
now back in Weinfelden, I would like to thank you very much - on behalf of
all of us as Model - for the Intermedia Globe Gold Award " Intelligent
Packaging " and the event yesterday in Hamburg. It was personally my first
time at the Festival and a special experience. I was very impressed by both
the screening and the original presentation of awards. Our producer , MUVI
Films of Flurlingen, did not exaggerate when they spoke last year about
intermedia's World Media Festival.
We came home with many impressions as well as 'our' Gold Award. If in the
future there is a possibility of a new production, we shall certainly try to
be among the 'chosen few' again.Greeting from Weinfelden
Guten Abend Frau Chinbuah,
zurück in Weinfelden möchte ich mich auch im Namen aller
Model-Mitarbeiter für den Intermedia-Globe GOLD AWARD "Intelligent
Packaging" und die gestrige Veranstaltung in Hamburg herzlich bedanken!
Für mich persönlich war es die erste Teilnahme und ein besonderes
Erlebnis. Sowohl das Screening als auch die originelle Award-Verleihung haben
mich sehr beeindruckt. Unser Produzent, MUVI FILMS, Flurlingen/Schweiz hatte
nicht "übertrieben" als er mir letztes Jahr vom +
intermedia-WorldMediaFestival gesprochen hat. Wir sind nebst "unserem" GOLD
AWARD auch mit vielen Eindrücken nach Weinfelden zurückgekehrt.
Falls sich in Zukunft die Möglichkeit nach einer neuen Produktion
bietet, werden wir versuchen, wieder in die "engere Wahl" zu kommen.
Gruss aus Weinfelden.

I think the concept of the WorldMediaFestivals is first class, because it
rewards work with 'new media' that is unconventional and innovative, but at
the same time highly professional.
Hallo Frau Chinbuah,
ich finde das Konzept des worldmediafestivals klasse, weil hier der
unkonventionelle (vergl. Web-Design) und innovative aber zugleich höchst
professionelle Umgang mit "neuen Medien" prämiert wird.

Two weeks ago the ITVA awards took place in Cologne...when I compare that to your upbeat party in Hamburg, I can only say I take my hat off to you. You were wonderful, the rooms perfect, the atmosphere great and the band a hit. So once again many congratulations. And I beseech you to make the WorldMediaFestival to Germany;s No 1 - then in future we won't have to worry about all the other rubbish.
Liebe Cora,
vor 2 Wochen fand in Köln die ITVA-Verleihung statt......Wenn ich das
mit Deiner rauschenden Party in Hamburg vergleiche, kann ich nur sagen: Hut
ab. Du warst wunderbar, die Räume perfekt, die Stimmung Spitze und die
Band ein Treffer. Als nochmals: herzlichen Glückwunsch! Und streng Dich
bitte an, das Worldmediafestival zur Nr. 1 in Deutschland zu machen, dann
können wir uns nämlich den ganzen anderen Quatsch künftig
sparen.
