Overview
- German Films said an independent jury picked Everytime from 11 submitted titles on Tuesday, praising the film’s camera work and its cinematic handling of grief.
- Everytime won Un Certain Regard at Cannes and is a German–Austrian co‑production starring Birgit Minichmayr, Carla Hüttermann and Tristán López that is set for further festival rollouts and a North American release.
- Ilker Çatak’s Gelbe Briefe and Visar Morina’s Von Scham und Geld have become eligible under the Academy’s spring rule change because they won major festival prizes, though their production companies still must file formal submissions.
- The Academy will publish a 15‑film International Feature shortlist on 15 December, announce five nominees on 21 January 2027, and hold the 99th Oscars ceremony on 14 March 2027.
- Selection organizers and Wollner’s team say the choice highlights growing international visibility for German film and could boost festival and awards momentum for the filmmakers and cast.
