Only a few days after its world premiere Johanna Moder’s second feature film Once Were Rebels wins the Zurich Ecumenical Award of the regional churches endowed with 5,000 CHF. The jury stated, “The film, borne by a
stellar cast surrounding Julia Jentsch and guest appearance by Josef Hader, confronts noble humanistic ideals with the less
lofty needs of everyday life, bringing with it a heartfelt sense of humor.”
Andreas Horvath's LILLIAN, also a contender in the Focus Competition, returns from Zürich with a special mention.
