Nuremberg – The German-Austrian film "Styx" on a damaged and overcrowded refugee boat received the Human Rights Film Award in the feature film category. At the awards ceremony Saturday night in Nuremberg, the president of the German Film Academy, Iris Berben, described the Viennese filmmaker Wolfgang Fischer as brave.
He chose a substance that repeatedly reflects the daily fate of Europe's southern external borders. Those who view migration as "the mother of all problems" should take 95 minutes to understand the drama of "the cruel reality of decrepit ships floating in the Mediterranean," said Berben.
Many of the 380 films submitted dealt with themes of flight and integration this year. Former German President Joachim Gauck met with the winners in Nuremberg.
