Animationsinstitut @ Filmakademie Ludwigsburg: Student Academy Award for Matthias Strasser and Team for their graduation film THE PANIC INSIDE
[German Version below]
Press Release: Ludwigsburg, 6 August, 2026
A second consecutive Student Academy Award for the Animationsinstitut of Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg (FABW): Matthias Strasser and his team have been honoured for the graduation film THE PANIC INSIDE.
This is FABW’s ninth Student Academy Award overall, making the film school the most successful one outside the USA in this competition.
Those who can’t say no easily lose themselves in self-exploitation: director and screenwriter Matthias Strasser strikes a chord with his animated short film THE PANIC INSIDE, and has impressed the judges of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences: The film will receive one of the three 2026 Student Academy Awards in the Animation category at the 53rd Student Academy Awards ceremony.
“We are very proud that this deeply personal story, that we got to create with such a dedicated, talented team, reached so many people through the Awards and seems to resonate with a lot of the viewers”, says Sabina Stoeckler on behalf of the whole team.
For the second year running, a diploma project of the Animationsinstitut at Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg (FABW) has been recognized with this prestigious award for emerging filmmakers. In 2025, director Tobias Eckerlin received the Gold Medal, the highest honour, for A SPARROW’S SONG. This year’s Gold, Silver and Bronze medal winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on 14 September 2026, taking place for the first time at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
Dr. Jan Pinkava, Director of Animationsinstitut:
„Wow! Again? To receive an Academy Award is always a great honour, and a testament to the talent and dedication of our students and staff at Filmakademie’s Animationsinstitut. Congratulations to director Matthias Strasser, producer Sabina Stöckler, and the whole team! We’re proud of you. This award puts a spotlight on Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg as the leading Animation voice of Germany’s film schools and among the best in the world. Let’s not get cocky.”
In THE PANIC INSIDE, Matthias Strasser tells the story of Jacob, a chronic people-pleaser, who breaks down under the pressure of constant expectations and finds himself in a surreal liminal world. There, he is forced to confront his own needs. By combining 2D and 3D animation with live-action elements, this visually outstanding film explores themes of self-care, setting boundaries and personal freedom.
Prof. Dr. Andreas Bareiss, Managing Director of FABW:
“This ninth Student Academy Award confirms the creative excellence of our students. It demonstrates the importance of a practice-oriented education that encourages young people to develop their own cinematic style, tell their own stories and flourish as independent artistic personalities. On behalf of the entire Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg, I would like to offer my heartfelt congratulations to the award winners. Through their success, they are not only outstanding ambassadors for our film school, but also for the next generation of German filmmakers on the international stage.”
The Student Academy Awards, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, are among the most prestigious awards for student film productions worldwide. Nearly 3,000 productions were submitted for the 2026 edition. Among the finalists in the ‘Animation’ category were two productions from FABW´s Animationsinstitut: THE PANIC INSIDE and SEND NUDES by David Sick.

Pressemitteilung: Ludwigsburg, 06.08.2026
Das zweite Jahr in Folge geht der Student Academy Award an das Animationsinstitut der Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg (FABW): Matthias Strasser und sein Team werden für den Diplomfilm THE PANIC INSIDE ausgezeichnet.
Für die FABW ist es insgesamt der neunte Student Academy Award. Damit ist sie die erfolgreichste Filmhochschule außerhalb der USA in diesem Wettbewerb.
Wer nicht nein sagen kann, verliert sich leicht in der Selbstausbeutung: Der Regisseur und Drehbuchautor Matthias Strasser trifft mit seinem Animations-Kurzfilm THE PANIC INSIDE einen Nerv, und er hat damit die Jury der Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences überzeugt: Der Film wird bei der Verleihung der 53ten Student Academy Awards mit einem der drei Preise 2026 in der Kategorie „Animation“ ausgezeichnet.
Matthias Strasser, Regisseur und Autor von „The Panic Inside“
„Wir sind stolz, dass diese tief persönliche Geschichte, die wir mit einem so großartigen, talentierten Team erzählen durften, durch die Awards ein so großes Publikum erreicht und bei vielen Menschen einen Punkt zu treffen scheint,“ sagt die Producerin Sabina Stöckler im Namen des gesamten Teams.
Nach dem großen Erfolg im letzten Jahr triumphiert wieder ein Diplomprojekt des Animationsinstituts der Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg (FABW) bei diesem wichtigen Filmnachwuchspreis. 2025 bekam Tobias Eckerlin mit A SPARROW’S SONG die Gold Medal, die höchste Auszeichnung. Die Gold-, Silber- und Bronze-Platzierungen der aktuellen Gewinner*innen werden bei der Preisverleihung am 14. September 2026 bekanntgegeben. Diese findet erstmals im Rahmen des Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) statt.
Dr. Jan Pinkava, Leiter des Animationsinstituts:
„Wow! Ein weiteres Mal? Einen Academy Award zu bekommen, ist immer eine große Ehre und ein Beweis für das Talent und das Engagement unserer Studierenden und Mitarbeitenden am Animationsinstitut der Filmakademie. Herzlichen Glückwunsch an Regisseur Matthias Strasser, Produzentin Sabina Stöckler und das gesamte Team! Wir sind stolz auf euch. Diese Auszeichnung rückt die Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg als führende Kraft im Bereich Animation unter den deutschen Filmhochschulen und als eine der besten der Welt ins Rampenlicht. Aber wir wollen nicht übermütig werden.“
Matthias Strasser erzählt in THE PANIC INSIDE die Geschichte des chronischen People-Pleasers Jacob, der unter dem Druck ständiger Erwartungen zusammenbricht und in einer surrealen Zwischenwelt landet. Dort wird er gezwungen, sich mit seinen eigenen Bedürfnissen auseinanderzusetzen. In der Verbindung von 2D- und 3D-Animation mit Realfilm-Elementen entsteht ein visuell außergewöhnliches Werk über Selbstfürsorge, das Setzen von Grenzen und persönliche Freiheit.
Prof. Dr. Andreas Bareiß, Geschäftsführer der FABW:
„Der neunte Student Academy Award bestätigt die kreative Exzellenz unserer Studierenden. Er zeigt, wie wichtig eine praxisbezogene Ausbildung ist, die junge Menschen ermutigt, eine eigene filmische Handschrift zu entwickeln, ihre eigenen Geschichten zu erzählen und sich zu eigenständigen künstlerischen Persönlichkeiten zu entfalten. Matthias Strasser und dem gesamten Team gratuliere ich im Namen der gesamten Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg von Herzen. Mit ihrem Erfolg sind sie nicht nur herausragende Botschafterinnen und Botschafter unserer Akademie, sondern auch des deutschen Filmnachwuchses auf der internationalen Bühne.“
Die von der Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences vergebenen Student Academy Awards zählen zu den renommiertesten Auszeichnungen für studentische Filmproduktionen weltweit. Für die Ausgabe 2026 wurden nahezu 3.000 Produktionen eingereicht. Unter den Finalisten in der Kategorie „Animation“ waren zwei Produktionen des Animationsinstituts der FABW: neben THE PANIC INSIDE auch SEND NUDES von David Sick.
