Redseven Entertainment wins German TV Award for "Dont Stop the Music"

Munich, September 15, 2022. Redseven Entertainment, a Red Arrow Studios company, was awarded a prestigious German TV Award (Der Deutscher Fernsehpreis) yesterday in the category Best Factual Entertainment for Dont Stop the Music (ZDF) and Dont Stop the Music KIDS (KiKA).

The factual format, which was designed as a long-term project lasting over seven months, gave children from disadvantaged families the chance to learn a musical instrument or to sing in a choir, and follows them as they work together towards a big final concert. For the roughly 50 students at the Campus Efeuweg comprehensive school in Berlin-Gropiusstadt, making music together had a hugely positive effect: helping the children to make new friends, as well as improving their language and social skills. Their increased self-confidence and newfound motivation for learning even helped some perform better in school. The project continues today in cooperation with the music school Berliner Stadtmusikanten. Comedian B lent Ceylan, himself a passionate singer and musician who has been involved in various childrens aid projects for many years, accompanied Dont Stop the Music as a mentor and sponsor. Singers Nadja Benaissa and Tom Neuwirth supported him during rehearsals and at the final concert at the Konzerthaus Berlin.

Redseven Entertainment produced the format for ZDF, ZDFneo, KiKA and the ZDF media library. The individual versions of the format are adapted to the respective channel's target groups in terms of narrative style and length. The 4x45' episodes on ZDF were broadcast as part of the Easter holidays event programming. The format was originally developed by Fresh One Productions, and produced by Artemis Media for ABC Australia in 2018. Red Arrow Studios International distributes the format worldwide.

Jobst Benthues, CEO Redseven Entertainment, said: We are so happy and honored to be awarded the German TV Award for Dont Stop the Music. It is incredible to see what can be achieved with factual formats of this kind: through focusing on relevant topics, and striving to entertain and inform our audience in equal measure, as we gently accompanying the development of our cast. This moving project overcomes boundaries and broadens the horizons of all those involved, who have more than earned this award. We congratulate the entire team and thank our colleagues at ZDF and KiKA for their trust in us to bring this strong format to the screen.

In the same year, Bettina B ttger won the award for the social experiment Married at First Sight (Hochzeit auf den ersten Blick, SAT.1) in the category Best Editing Entertainment.
