Bavarian Film Prize for “September 5”






The main prize, worth 100,000 euros, went to a film that can also hope for an Oscar.

The film “September 5” about the 1972 Olympic attack in Munich won the main prize of 100,000 euros as best film at the Bavarian Film Awards. Director Tim Fehlbaum’s film beat out “The Outrun” and “Treasure – Family is a Foreign Country”, which each received 50,000 euros.

“Sometimes a single film succeeds in taking us so intensely into the past that we feel like we were there ourselves, even if the event happened many decades ago,” said the jury, who called it a “masterpiece.”

“September 5” tells a compelling story from the perspective of the US television station ABC Sports, which was the first to have a live camera on the terrorist act. The film also has a chance of winning an Oscar this year: director and author Fehlbaum, screenwriter Moritz Binder and co-author Alex David are nominated for best original screenplay.
