Korruption auf Erden wins main award at the 30. Rüsselsheim Film Festival

The film “Korruption auf Erden” directed by Omid Mirnour won the main award at the 30. Rüsselsheim Film Festival. Here is an overview of the current awards:

  • Main Award | 30th Rüsselsheim Film Festival
  • Best Social Fiction | Diversidarte Festival De Curtas
  • Audience Award | Spitziale Espelkamp
  • Audience Award | Schweinfurter Kurzfilmtage

After winning the second prize with “Art of Authenticity” in Rüsselsheim, last year, we were able to win the main prize in 2023 with “Corupption on Earth”. The anniversary edition of the 30th Rüsselsheim Film Festival was marked by a series of satirical works with particularly critical socio-political depth. At a banquet, for example, Ali Khamenei personally accepted the award for “The Best Regime in the World”. Or what would happen if everyone in the country suddenly had a murder free? And is it possible to cope with the threat of overpopulation on earth by consistently applying a pragmatic solution to halving humanity?

The winner of the festival “Korruption auf Erden” shows a ballroom with international guests, where the fictitious award ceremony is celebrated in the style of an Oscar award for the “Best Regime in the World”. A laudator praises the excellent political and social performance in Iran before the actor of the supreme political leader Ali Khamenei praises the barbaric treatment of human rights in an emotional acceptance speech. The underlaying filmic documents are mixed with authentic cell phone footage of current protests, thus uniting fiction and reality in the world of the morality police. The Berlin-based Omid Mirnour, as scriptwriter and director, received the winning prize of 5000 euros, the bronze sculpture symbolizing the “Sharp Look” and occasionally apostrophized as a small Oscar of satirical short film, from the hands of Michael Kirchberger, chairman of the Cinema Concetta Foundation.

AI Artists at EASYdoesit

At EASYdoesit, we are steadily expanding AI as an integral part of our creative production process. Alongside classic video production and photography, we work with generative AI as a practical and artistic tool, supporting concept development, visual exploration, hybrid production workflows, and full-AI productions. Among the artists we represent are Caspar Jade, The Visiblemaker, Katrin Schlotterhose, Stefan Aberer, Morelyubovi, Beatrice von Winterfeldt and Allar Haltsonen. Together, our AI artists cover a broad range of styles and disciplines, from experimental image creation and digital art to production-ready AI visuals and hybrid film workflows. This diversity allows us to match the right talent to each project and to use AI where it truly adds creative value. We continue to grow this area carefully and deliberately, expanding our network, refining workflows, and exploring new possibilities at the intersection of AI, film, photography, and visual culture.

Recent AI Production Highlights

Generative AI is no longer a future topic. At EASYdoesit, it is part of real productions under real conditions. Two recent projects show how we integrate AI meaningfully into commercial storytelling, not as a gimmick, but as a creative tool. Our conclusion: AI is not a replacement for filmmaking. It is a tool, one capable of unlocking entirely new forms of visual expression when guided by strong creative direction.
