Award-winning cinematic experience at the heart of the festival
With Beautiful Souls, the Munich Film Festival presents an award-winning film that has received the FIPRESCI Prize, drawing special attention even before its regular theatrical release. The screening at the University of Television and Film Munich combines festival atmosphere with a place that stands, like hardly any other, for film education, aesthetic experiments, and dialogue about storytelling.

Between festival glamour and cinematic discovery
The film is directed by Tom Schreiber and has been included as a German feature film in this year’s festival selection. The content promises a tragicomedy with a sharp focus on longing, new beginnings, and social friction: Summer 1996, a dropout location in Spain, a life in the in-between. It is precisely here that the tension arises that characterizes good cinema — between observation, character portrayal, and atmospheric density.

The University of Television and Film Munich sees itself as a place of comprehensive education, film language innovation, and aesthetic experiments. For visitors, this creates more than just a simple screening: The art experience is embedded in an institutional context where creative practice, film craftsmanship, and reflective consideration come together. Those interested in curation, film history, and cultural education will experience a condensed piece of Munich's film culture here.

A film that resonates
Beautiful Souls has been awarded the FIPRESCI Prize; the international association of film critics honors films that develop special critical relevance in the festival program. For the audience, this means: a work that not only entertains but also invites reflection — with characters that resonate long after, in their ambivalence, in their motion, and in their social positioning.
