New German Cinema Award

The New German Cinema Award is presented at the Munich Film Festival . It honors young directors, young producers, young authors and young actors in German films from the New German Cinema series of the Munich Film Festival. Donors are DZ Bank , Bavaria Film and Bayerischer Rundfunk . The prize amounts are 30,000 euros in the directing category, 20,000 euros (production), 10,000 euros (screenplay) and 10,000 euros (acting). Directors, authors and actors can be awarded for their first, second or third feature film, producers for a maximum of the sixth. A three-person jury decides on the award of the prize.

The prize arose from the HypoVereinsbank's directors' promotion prize ( Hypopreis ), which has been awarded since 1989 and was Germany's most highly endowed private film prize. In 2002 this became the German Film Promotion Prize , which HypoVereinsbank awarded together with Bayerischer Rundfunk and Bavaria Film. In 2012, DZ Bank replaced Hypovereinsbank as the sponsor and the award was renamed the New German Cinema Award . Since 2005, the Hof International Film Festival has also awarded a young talent award for exceptional artistic achievements.

2009

In 2009, the jury around Caroline Link , producer Uli Aselmann and actor Maximilian Brückner caused a scandal when they decided not to award a sponsorship prize in the directing and screenplay categories due to what they considered to be a poor selection. “We were desperately looking for a film that tells a story that is relevant in some way - I no longer dare to speak of any political or social significance. But there was nothing that touched or interested us. One wonders why that is. Wasn't there any more exciting, young cinema this year? The filmmakers in question don't want to go to Munich, do they want to go somewhere else? Or does the Munich Film Festival not see the right films, so does it choose the wrong ones? At the moment we are all still looking ” , says Link.
