20. DEUTSCHER FILMPREIS – the 20 German Film Award 2024 #lola2024 will be presented on May 3, 2024.
With the 20th anniversary the Deutsche Filmakademie e.V. changes the voting procedure. Find the new guidelines _ German only_ here.
Both the increase in the number of members and the digital screening platform make a new, two-stage process possible. To ensure that all films entered for the selection process are seen, each Academy member receives an allotted list of at least a list of an average of ten films that must be seen in order to be allowed to vote. In this way, each film is statistically viewed by at least 100 members and all films are given the opportunity to prevail. This principle of individual allocation has already been successfully tested in the voting for the Oscars and BAFTAS for several years. The task and responsibility of the previous and responsibility of the previous pre-selection commissions to screen all films will be and is thus a joint and year-round task of all Deutsche Filmakademie members.
