Carl Laemmle Prize 2025: Gabriele M. Walther enthusiastic jury!

Laupheim, Deutschland - The film world will be rejoiced, because the Carl Laemmle producer award 2025 goes to a very special personality: Gabriele M. Walther, producer and screenwriter. On September 19, this honorable award will be presented to her in the Kulturhaus in Großlauphheim Castle. This honor is not only a personal highlight in Walther's career, but also a ray of hope for the German animated film, in which she played a lot. The producer award has been awarded by the production alliance and the city of Laupheim since 2017 and is reminiscent of Carl Laemmle, the venerable founder of the Universal Studios, who saw the light of day in Laupheim.

Gabriele M. Walther is a real all -rounder in the film business. She is not only the founder and managing director of Caligari Film- und Television Production GmbH, but also produced some of the best-known children's and animated films, including "The Little Dragon Kokosnuss", "Ritter Rost" and "Princess Lillifee". Her versatility and innovative strength not only brought her the recognition of her colleagues, but also the honor of being recognized as an outstanding producer. The jury, consisting of well -known personalities such as Wiebke Andresen and Christian Beetz, appreciates Walther's entrepreneurial courage and her formative contribution to the industry. The jury also focuses on promoting women in the media industry, a concern that is particularly important to Walther. At a time when women are still underrepresented in film production, she sets a sign of equality.

a price with tradition

The award is an important event in the European film world. The Carl Laemmle producer award is the first independent award of this kind in Germany and is highly valued. Numerous personalities have been honored since his introduction, including greats such as Roland Emmerich and Martin Moszkowicz. The award ceremony is not only in the festive framework, but is also supported by well -known sponsors such as the Kreissparkasse Biberach. These partnerships are not only a sign of appreciation, but also an important financial support for the award.

Laupheim itself has developed into an economic hub, not least because of the recognition and eye -catchers that the Carl Laemmle producer prize offers. The city is proud to be in direct connection to one of the most influential characters in film history. This becomes an integral part of the cultural life of the region by continuing the award ceremony.

The location of the German film industry

Gabriele Walther's award falls during a time of change for the German film production industry. The industry is currently faced with challenges that are reinforced by the upcoming reforms of film funding. Changes are planned to come into force in 2025. These could have far -reaching effects on the production companies in Germany, of which 774 were still active in 2022. The number of companies has experienced a noticeable decline in recent years.

in 2023 German films were able to regain part of the market, although interest has dropped audibly compared to earlier years. Among the German productions, titles such as "high -flyer - the secret of the great jewel" are considered an export hit, and the "School of Magic Animals 2" also made it under the most successful films in the EU and the United Kingdom.

Film funding and support from events such as the Carl Laemmle producer award are critical of the further development and stability of the German film industry. With her award, Gabriele M. Walther not only stands for personal success, but also for the remarkable diversity and creativity in the German film landscape that needs to be promoted.

At the award ceremony on September 19 in Laupheim you can be excited - the entire film industry looks at Gabriele M. Walther, who with tireless efforts the threads in the animated film confidently hold.
