Sibel Kekilli Suggests New Hosts for German Film Awards During Max Ophüls Preis Ceremony

The actress praised the lively moderation at the Saarbrücken film festival and humorously proposed a change for the national awards show.

Actress Sibel Kekilli, a jury member at the Max Ophüls Preis, enjoyed the event's energetic moderation by Simin Sadeghi and Eugene Boateng.
During the ceremony, Kekilli jokingly suggested the duo should host the Deutscher Filmpreis for a more entertaining experience.
The audience responded enthusiastically to her remarks, prompting Kekilli to humorously comment that she might not be invited back by the academy.
The Max Ophüls Preis jury, including Kekilli, awarded a €36,000 prize for the best feature film and decided on other notable categories like best direction and socially relevant film.
Kekilli is widely recognized for her role in Fatih Akin's acclaimed film 'Gegen die Wand' and as Sarah Brandt in the Kiel 'Tatort' TV series.
