Bayerischer Filmpreis Nominierung On January 23, 2026, the 47th Bavarian Film Awards will take place in Munich. In the “Best Film” category, ‘Amrum’ with Laura Tonke and Lars Jessen and “22 Bahnen” with Laura Tonke are among the nominees. Fingers crossed!

Jetzt.Wohin. Meine Reise mit Robert Habeck Lars Jessen's highly personal documentary is currently showing in cinemas. The film takes a look behind the scenes of Robert Habeck's 2025 election campaign – a campaign that began with high expectations and ended with significant losses for the Green Party. Habeck then retired from politics. Few German politicians have stirred up more emotion in recent years: for some, he is a beacon of hope, for others, a projection of everything they reject about the present.

Prange Man ist ja Nachbar Ralf Prange has lived his entire life in the same red-brick apartment in Hamburg-Barmbek. According to his own account, he is the “poor bastard” who always accepts packages for everyone from the carefree parcel delivery man Micki. But Prange's solitary life is turned upside down by the arrival of the stunningly pragmatic parcel delivery woman Dörte. The film is now available to watch in the ARD media library and will be shown on December 10, 2025, at 8:15 p.m. on Das Erste. It was directed by Lars Jessen.
