Venus Award 2003
In October 2003, at the annual Venus Fair in Berlin, "Pink Prison" was honored with the Venus Award as Best Scandinavian Film.
The news was celebrated at Zentropa in Copenhagen, where the kitchen staff at Filmbyen's large restaurant, The Mess Hall, created a special "Pink Prison"-cake with pink icing and prison bar stripes.
The cake was made in the very same kitchen where the film's hot sexscene with Katja Kean and Mr. Marcus was once shot.
Zentropa CEO Peter Aalbæk Jensen happily dug into the cake,
commenting that "honor is the loveliest tree in the forest".
