Sensation in Braunschweig: Sandra Hülser wins European Film Award!
Great honor for the talented actress Sandra Hülser: At the Braunschweig International Film Festival (BIFF) she was awarded the prestigious acting award “Die Europa”. The prize, worth 25,000 euros, is the highest award given at the festival. In his speech, Thorsten Rinke, the chairman of the film festival association, emphasized Hülser's remarkable diversity in international cinema and praised her outstanding achievements.
Hülser, who was born on April 30, 1978 in Suhl, grew up in a family of educators and moved to Friedrichroda during her childhood, where she received her school education at the Körnberg-Gymnasium. While she was still at school, she showed great interest in theater, took part in workshops and theater courses, and thus laid the foundation for her impressive career.

In total, she has been recognized for her work 42 times and nominated for 93 other awards, including the prestigious Best Actress Award at the 2024 Lumiere Awards for the same role.
At the 39th Braunschweig International Film Festival, which takes place from November 10th to 16th, Hülser will have a conversation on November 15th about her experiences and challenges in the film industry.
