“Toni Erdmann”, the FIPRESCI Award for Best Film of the year

     Toni Erdmann (directed by Maren Ade), co-produced by Ada Solomon, was designated Best Film of the Year by the International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI).

     The award will be handed out to director Maren Ade at the opening gala of the San Sebastian Film Festival (Spain), on 16 September. It is the first time this distinction goes to a production directed by a woman.
     Shot almost entirely on location in Romania, it is the only cinema production released in 2016 included recently in TOP 100 21st Century's greatest films by BBC Culture, representing also the Germany's proposals to the Academy Awards. Furthermore, the famous      American publication Indiewire regards the film as a serious candidate to the title of Best Foreign Language Film.
     The film tells the story of Winfried, an eccentric father, recently retired and prone to pranks, who decides to pay a surprise visit to his daughter, Ines, a serious career woman who works on an important project, as corporatist strategist in Bucharest.
     Toni Erdmann will be released on 21 October in Romanian theatres, being distributed by microFILM.
