The series camp honors the best (inter)national series of the year
The official competition Official Competition honors the best (inter)national series of the year. Our program team made a pre-selection of six productions and a three-member jury of industry representatives selects the winner.
May we introduce? Our jury for the Official Competition 2021:
Ben Münchow
In addition to acting, the multi-talented Ben Münchow is also a successful singer/songwriter. He has appeared in numerous cinema and television productions as a performer and, among other things, received the Max Ophüls Award for Best Young Actor in 2016 for his performance in the feature film Rockabilly Requiem. Most recently, he has attracted attention especially in his series roles in DAS BOOT as well as SPY CITY.
Ayla Gottschlich & Aysel Yilmaz
Production, direction, screenplay: the multi-talented power couple Ayla Gottschlich & Aysel Yilmaz is committed to unusual stories and new perspectives with their projects. Complex characters portrayed with all the humor and tragedy of real life. Her heroines are never reduced to their background or gender. It's about their own strength and unique identity, about staying true to themselves. Such is the case in her latest project - the Disney+ original series Sultan City - a German family gangster dramedy about German-Turkish mother Sultan, who unexpectedly becomes the leader of the criminal underworld.
We'll announce the winning series on Wednesday, November 10 at our grand opening at the Arri Cinema. And of course on Social Media.
Stay tuned!
