Hollywood actress Sandra Hüller will be awarded the "Die Europa" acting prize at this year's Braunschweig International Film Festival (BIFF). The prize, worth 25,000 euros, is considered the festival's highest honor, according to the organizers. Hüller has "rightly made a name for herself in international cinema with her multifaceted talent", said Thorsten Rinke, Chairman of the Filmfest Association.
The 47-year-old lives in Leipzig and is internationally known for her roles in the multi-award-winning dramas "Anatomy of a Case" and "The Zone of Interest". Hüller was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role for "Anatomy of a Case" last year.
