You can not only cook rice, you can also listen to it!

Since mid-2022, ‘Reis’ has been travelling on stages across Germany, presenting a mix of fusion jazz, funk and light punk elements.

It is unmistakable that the four musicians around Sebastian (saxophone), Christoph (guitar), Marius (bass) and Laurin (drums) partly come from different musical genres, but this gives ‘Reis’ a certain charm. Jazz perhaps, but definitely ‘rice’ music.

We cordially invite you to a small reception and to the award ceremony of the 14th Nuremberg International Human Rights Film Festival (NIHRFF).

The International Jury will award the Nuremberg International Human Rights Film Prize to a film from the International Competition.

The Open Eyes Youth Jury awards its prize to the film from the Open Eyes programme which, in its opinion, is best suited for human rights education in schools. Open Eyes is supported by Stabilo International.
