🎬 “Plan F” Celebrates Its Berlin Premiere at the 22nd Achtung Berlin Film Festival

Following the screening, director and producer Ina Balon, lead actress Ursula Renneke (Maya), producer Jannik Büddig (ZAK Film Productions), screenwriter Claudius Beutler, and cinematographer Jochen Askari took questions from a very interested audience in the Babylon’s Oval. Lead actress Bärbel Schwarz (Franka) was unable to attend due to a theater engagement. The discussion lasted over 30 minutes and provided insights into the film’s creation—from the development of the story and the work with the two lead actresses, through the casting, to the visual language that balances the vastness of Brandenburg with the intimacy of Berlin.

Ina Balon describes her film, which at its core revolves around two sisters who can no longer pretend to each other, as “a declaration of love for failure—not a film about reconciliation, but about the struggle not to lose sight of one another.” An attitude that palpably carried the evening at Babylon even beyond the screen.
