Fatih Akin's new film "Amrum" has been nominated as the German entry for the 98th Academy Award in the category "Best International Feature Film".
After Amrum celebrated its world premiere in Cannes earlier this year, the film has now been put forward as a candidate for the German entry for the 98th Academy Award.
Amrum tells the story of 12-year-old Nanning, who tries to feed his family after the end of the war in 1945. The plot is based on the childhood memories of Director and Script Writer Hark Bohm, who also developed the script together with Fatih Akin.
MOIN Film Fund Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein supported the film, which was shot over around 25 days in Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg, with 800,000 euros.
Before Amrum enters the international Oscar race, the film will celebrate its German premiere at the upcoming Filmfest Hamburg, which takes place from 25 September to 4 October 2025.
