The big winner of the evening was the festival darling Great Freedom by Sebastian Meise, a drama set in the mid-20th century, during which a German man is repeatedly imprisoned because of his violations of paragraph 175, a law forbidding homosexuality. The movie won Best Feature Film, Best Lead Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Make-up and Best Film Editing. The runner-up in terms of the number of prizes won was Arman T Riahi’s Fox in a Hole, which scooped Best Leading Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Score and Best Sound Editing.

Further winners were Notes from the Underworld [+lee también:

, which notched up 95,000 viewers.

Another focal point of this year’s ceremony was the topic of sexual harassment in the Austrian film industry, which has been discussed intensively of late. Academy of Austrian Film presidents Verena Altenberger and Arash T Riahi noted, “Our work often brings us into situations that encourage sexualised power abuse.” There are, however, ways to improve conditions for everyone: diverse sets, the employment of trustworthy people, special training before a shoot and providing better protection for employees would be some of the more prominent options. Starting this coming autumn, a contact point for survivors will be set up at the Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, Civil Service and Sport.

The evening’s special guest was Alik Shpilyuk, artistic director of the Ukrainian Film Academy. Shpilyuk praised the cooperation between Austrian and Ukrainian filmmakers, and spoke of the great sorrow that the war is currently causing in his home country.
