Its official: SOUND OF FALLING, directed by Mascha Schilinski, is Germany’s Oscar® entry for the 98th Academy Awards in the BEST INTERNATIONAL FEATURE FILM category ! 🎥🏆
The selection was made today by an independent jury of industry experts, following the evaluation of five submissions in Munich. Their verdict:
"SOUND OF FALLING is formally uncompromising, emotionally existential, and artistically unique - without any parallel in German and international cinema. Spanning a century, the film interweaves the lives of four women who struggle against confinement, violence and social constraints. A work of rare urgency, masterfully directed, poetic, universal, courageous, SOUND OF FALLING is a physical experience that resonates and burns itself into the memory."
The intergenerational drama and Cannes Film Festival PRIX DU JURY 2025 winner is produced by Studio Zentral.
Producers Maren Schmitt, Lukas Schmidt and Lasse Scharpen state:
“It’s a great honour for us to have SOUND OF FALLING selected as the German OSCAR® entry. In the Oscars®’ 98-year history, films directed by women have unfortunately still been disproportionately under-represented. Female directors have been nominated on only nine occasions for the award in the “Best Director” category. This makes us all the more proud of being able with SOUND OF FALLING to represent the high quality of the German film landscape on an international level, and we hope that we can then build on the success Mascha Schilinski had already had with her film in Cannes”.
