“Young talent” becomes “discoveries”
Also this year, actor Markus Freistätter accompanies the “Discoveries” category, which experienced a gentle update last year and was previously known as the “Young Talent” category. In this category, all those, regardless of their age, who have shown their first major roles, outstanding performances or a particularly steep upward career curve in the past year come into play.
Freistätter accompanies these discoveries throughout the year and then proposes nominations to the jury: “I am happy and grateful to be able to propose these talented colleagues to the jury,” says Freistätter. “People I find creative, talented and special. People who practice their profession with attitude and bring their own artistic image and approach to the work.”
