The amazing cast and crew of Systemsprenger (System Crasher), running in Competition at this year's Berlinale, were clearly overjoyed while attending the photo-call and press conference for their remarkable film directed by Nora Fingscheidt. One would never expect that this is her first narrative feature film. She's made a name for herself with directing documentary films. The respect and admiration that the cast and crew had for one another was clearly in plain sight for all to see.
