As every year, during the International Film Festival Mannheim-Heidelberg the churches invite to an Ecumenical Reception. Traditionally, on this occasion the members of the Ecumenical Jury are introduced. One of the film referents of the churches will give a speech, regularly answered by festival director Dr. Michael Kötz. The regional Catholic and Protestant churches will welcome the guests, and provide food and drinks for the talks after the speeches.

For the first time, the Academy had nominated international films such as “Sentimental Value” from Norway and “Secret Agent” from Brazil in the Best Picture category. Yet in the end, it was American productions that walked away with all the awards.
Film director Selma Vilhunen has won the Church Media Foundation’s 2026 prize for her documentary film 'Gate to Paradise' (Portti Paratiisiin).
