Thriller "September 5" Takes German Film Awards by Storm
"German Film Award Conferred on September 5"
Got your popcorn ready? The gripping drama "September 5," a film about the 1972 Munich Olympics attack from the viewpoint of an American television crew, has swept the German Film Awards! With a staggering nine wins out of ten nominations, this Swiss-directed masterpiece is the talk of the town.
Featuring Leonie Benesch as best supporting actress and taking home awards for screenplay, direction, and editing, "September 5" is meticulously crafted and unassumingly powerful. Notably, this film was up for the best original screenplay at the Oscars this year, although it didn't snag the statuette.
While the Silver Lola went to "The Seed of the Holy Fig Tree" and the Bronze Lola to "In Love, Yours, Hilde," the most poignant moment of the evening came with the sudden announcement of Margot Friedländer's death. Star pianist Igor Levit, baptized in emotion, spontaneously honored the Holocaust survivor on stage, garnering a standing ovation from the audience.
Liv Lisa Fries Takes the Lead
In the acting categories, Misagh Zare from "The Seed of the Holy Fig Tree" clinched the best actor award, while Alexander Scheer missed out on his chance for best supporting actor despite double nominations. The spotlight shone brightly on Liv Lisa Fries, who brought Hilde Coppi, an NS resistance fighter, to life in "In Love, Yours, Hilde," taking home the award for best leading actress.
With around 1,700 guests, including the new Minister of State for Culture, Wolfram Weimer, in attendance, the German Film Awards stand as one of the industry's most significant events. Catch it all on ntv.de or dpa news.
