Berlin / Potsdam - With a total of 29 nominations, 14 MBB-funded films enter this year’s race for a German Film Award. The 73rd LOLA awards ceremony will be held on 12 May in Berlin.

Kirsten Niehuus, Managing Director of MBB: “We’re looking forward to the 73rd German Film Awards ceremony in Berlin, and are already rolling out the sustainable carpet for the filmmakers! We congratulate all nominees and are keeping our fingers especially crossed for the 14 films funded by the MBB. We already congratulate the laureate Volker Schlöndorff for his artistic and political services to German film, and we’re sure of one thing – he’s far from finished!”
