It’s the first ever award for outstanding German-language works of nonfiction that expand horizons and spark debate. In an era dominated by the current pandemic, populism and the frenetic whirl of social media discourse, books like these serve an important role: Meticulously researched works with sound facts that can support arguments and get to the heart of the matter. The jury has shortlisted eight books. Kultur.21 marks the first German Non-fiction Prize 2021 and presents the nominations – and of course the overall winning title.

The two-part documentary Arabellion – Ten Years After the Arab Spring charts the whole story of the uprisings from the protago-nists’ point of view. How did it all begin? And what is life like today for people in the Arab world?

The Humboldt ForumIt has been one of Europe’s most expen-sive and controversial cultural projects in recent years: The rebuilding of the Berlin City Palace, home of the Humboldt Forum –billed as the German capital’s answer to the Louvre. Why was the 1970s Palace of the Republic torn down to resurrect a structure that recalls global power fantasies from the German imperial era? Is this really a place to foster a construc-tive dialogue of world cultures? And just how functional is the modern new-build behind the reconstructed facades? The documentary The Humboldt Forum – A Palace for Berlin provides some answers.

The Horse Fisherwoman  Fishing on horseback – an ancient tradition on the Belgian North Sea coast and on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list since 2013. For more than 500 years, only men fished in this manner. But four years ago, all that changed: For the first time, Nele Bekaert and her draft horse Axel were also allowed to ride through the waves of the North Sea – after successful completion of a training program. Since then, she regularly dons the traditional yellow oilskin jacket, put on her sou’wester and canters off – at low-tide into a great fishing adventure. Nele Bekaert tells Euromaxx why she loves this tradition so much and what she’s experienced in her first years as a horse-back fisherwoman.

The Language of WhalesWhat is the meaning of the sounds and acoustic signals emitted by whales – do they have anything in common with human speech? With the help of artificial intelligence, researchers are looking for recurring patterns that might sug-gest some sort of linguistic model. For example, a research team in the Canadian Pacific spent three years collecting data from various families of killer whales to explore possible links between vocal patterns and behavior. The documentary The Language of Whales shows the astonishing communicative powers of these marine giants.
