In 2025, Ngô Ngọc Đức received the Golden Lola, the most prestigious and highest endowed national film award, for his screenplay "Ha-Neu / Berlin." The Vietnamese-German director has developed a distinctive, captivating, and humorous narrative style – from his early days at Bauhaus Weimar to his critically acclaimed films. His works deeply explore human conditions, immigration, and identity.
Alongside his impressive career, he founded the "Dreh’s Um Academy," which not only strengthens the media competence of Vietnamese-German youth but also gives them the confidence to tell their own stories through film.
