Austrian winners at the German Film Awards 2023: 'Best Costume Design' for Tanja Hausner for 'Sisi und Ich', 'Best Actor' for Felix Kammerer in 'All Quiet on the Western Front' and 'Best Documentary' for 'Elfriede Jelinek – Die Sprache von der Leine lassen'

On Friday of this week, the Deutscher Filmpreis, the German Film Awards were presented at a gala in Berlin. At the most important awards in the German film industry, the winners receive the statuette called 'Lola', referring to Marlene Dietrich's role in 'The Blue Angel'. Among the winners was Austrian costume designer Tanja Hausner, who received the 'Lola' in the category 'Best Costume Design' for her creations for the film 'Sisi und Ich'. In April, the daily news publication 'Welt' published an article with a detailed introduction by Tanja Hausner on her approach to developing the style of the costumes inspired by Visconti's films and Valentino's couture. In the article, which can be easily translated with the browser, the designer explains the role of the costumes in the dramaturgy of the film about the freedoms and constraints of women in the 19th century.

Two other productions with Austrian participation received German Film Awards. The film about the Austrian author and Nobel Prize 2004 in Literature laureate Elfriede Jelinek and her artistic use of language 'Elfriede Jelinek - Die Sprache von der Leine lassen' won in the category 'Best Documentary'. The winner in the category 'Best Actor' is the Felix Kammerer in the multiple Oscar-winning film 'All Quiet on the Western Front'.
