What, you ask, are the First Step Awards, celebrated last night in Berlin? Well, I tried to find out for you. And unfortunately this was the cryptic translation I received: "FIRST STEPS is more than a price: FIRST STEPS it all." Um , okay. "The young German price FIRST STEPS, 2000 as a private initiative of the film industry and the economy launched, is borne by the common desire, the film junior useful and effective." Then there's a Martin Luther King, Jr. quote. Basically it's an award for young filmmakers. (I think.) And, for our nefarious purposes, it's a chance to see some really bad dress-shoe combos. So come with me, if you will, to Deutschland! Goods and Bads, after the jump...
