World Premiere at the Munich Filmfest 2025: I'm Not Stiller

Stefan Haupt’s new adaptation of Max Frisch’s classic novel I’m Not Stiller received plenty of applause at its world premiere at this year’s Filmfest in Munich. Haupt wrote the screenplay together with Alexander Buresch. The production was initiated by Anne Walser (C-Films, Zurich), who collaborated with Walker+Worm Film, among others. Actors Paula Beer and Albrecht Schuch lead a high-profile cast that also includes Max Simonischek, Marie Leuenberger and Sven Schelker. The film, which translates the complex plot of the novel with dramaturgical finesse into a compelling screen narrative, has been described in early reviews as »big actors’ cinema for a grown-up audience« (The Spot).
