The zone of interest snatches the Bafta from The Bayonne Snow Society for Best Foreign Language Film. The film features the outstanding performance of the German Sandra Hüller and, according to critics, will be remembered as one of the great stories about the Holocaust.
The winning film already won the Grand Jury Prize (the Silver Palm) at the Cannes Festival (France), as well as the FIPRESCI Press Prize. Its director, Jonathan Glazer, is best known for his previous work, his fourth feature film, 'Under the Skin', with Scarlett Johansson.
