Germany has selected Austrian director Sandra Wollner’s “Everytime” as its entry for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film.<\/p>\n
German Films, the organization responsible for promoting German cinema abroad, made the announcement on Tuesday. Films do not need to have a German director to qualify, but must have been largely produced in Germany.<\/p>\n
“Everytime” follows Ella and her younger daughter Melli as they struggle to cope with everyday life a year after the sudden death of Ella’s older daughter Jessie. A trip to Tenerife with Jessie’s boyfriend Lux brings suppressed emotions and memories back to the surface.<\/p>\n
The film stars Birgit Minichmayr, Carla H\u00fcttermann and Trist\u00e1n L\u00f3pez.<\/p>\n
“Everytime” premiered in May at the Cannes Film Festival, where it won the top prize in the Un Certain Regard section.<\/p>\n
“In ‘Everytime,’ director and writer Sandra Wollner achieves the remarkable feat of making grief tangible as a world thrown into disarray through purely cinematic means and with a surprising lightness of touch,” the German selection jury said.<\/p>\n
Germany has won the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film four times, most recently in 2023 with Edward Berger’s anti-war drama “All Quiet on the Western Front.”<\/p>\n
Norway’s “Sentimental Value,” directed by Joachim Trier, won the category last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Germany has selected Austrian director Sandra Wollner’s “Everytime” as its entry for the Academy Award for Best International…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":78900,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[57775,29481,57772,5,57774,57771,57773],"class_list":["post-78899","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-germany","tag-everytime","tag-german-director","tag-german-films","tag-germany","tag-international-film","tag-sandra-wollner","tag-special-jury-prize"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78899"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78899\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
