Blümner brings Broken Glass Park to the big screen
On Thursday, December 15, Bettina Blümner (pictured), who made the documentary Pool of Princesses, wrapped the Berlin-based shoot on her big-screen debut narrative feature, Broken Glass Park.
The film, based on the novel of the same name by thirty-something writer Alina Bronsky, whose original German version was published by Kiepenheuer & Witsch in 2008 and was adapted for the stage this summer in Frankfurt, was scripted by Katharina Kress (for whom this is also her debut feature). It tells the story of a young woman who wants to avenge her mother’s death and grows up between deprived areas and bourgeois aspirations.
In the lead role is young Jasna Fritzi Bauer (seen this year in Andi Rogenhagen’s Alive and Ticking [+see also:

film profile]). The rest of the cast includes Ulrich Noethen (who starred in Christian Schwochow’s Cracks in the Shell [+see also:

film profile], shown this year at Karlovy Vary and Turin), Vladimir Burlakov and Max Hegewald.
Broken Glass Park is produced by Eyeworks Film Gemini. It will be launched on German screens next year by Neue Visionen Filmverleih.
