News → "Hysteria" wins the Filmpreis NRW

Big success for the Cologne film scene: the feature film "Hysteria" by Mehmet Akif Büyükatalay and Claus Herzog-Reichel won the Filmpreis NRW at this year's Film Festival Cologne.

The production by filmfaust, funded by Film- und Medienstiftung NRW, convinced the jury as a "multi-layered paranoia thriller" that powerfully tackles themes like identity, racism and media responsibility.

We're especially glad that postproduction, including color grading, online and deliverables, was done in-house with us.

"Hysteria" had its world premiere at the Berlinale and opens nationwide in cinemas on November 6.
