Great success for ANOTHER GERMAN TANK STORY: the film by Jannis Alexander Kiefer, which screened in the Spectrum section of the FilmFestival Cottbus in 2024, has won the Grand Jury Prize at the 29th Film Festival Turkey Germany.
The Filmfestival Türkei Deutschland is considered the most important forum for intercultural dialogue between German and Turkish cinema. With its multi-faceted programme of feature films, short films and documentaries, it creates a platform for cinematic encounters and socio-political debates.
The satirical comedy is set in the village of Wiesenwalde, which is suddenly thrust into the limelight by the filming of an American series about the Second World War. Mayor Susanne sees her chance to market the village to tourists, while her son Tobi is hired as the crew's driver - even though he doesn't have a driving licence. When a tank lands in the middle of the village and the chaos escalates, old conflicts and absurd dreams are unleashed.
After the festival tour, ANOTHER GERMAN TANK STORY will be released in German cinemas on 10 April 2025.
