title: What a Flash!

overview:
The producers of this French film took approximately 100 people, put them on a soundstage and had them improvise this film based on the premise that they are on a spaceship escaping from the dictators of earth and only have a few days to live. Improvisation is a dangerous art-form; unprepared amateurs invariably come up with gross caricatures when challenged to improvise. The actors' choices in this film include an allegorical pageant of the life of Jesus, a marriage, an orgy, and some genuinely affectionate moments. Nonetheless, as an experimental effort in large-group improvisation, the film is instructive.

biography:
Friederike Kempter, 23 Ekim 1979 tarihinde Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Batı Almanya'da dünyaya gelmiştir. Çocukluğunu Freudental'de geçiren Kempter, oyunculuk kariyerine lise yıllarında adım atmış ve eğitimini Berlin'deki "Der Kreis" adlı oyunculuk okulunda tamamlamıştır. Ekrandaki ilk deneyimlerini 1990'ların sonunda "Sylvia – Eine Klasse für sich" ve "Zwei allein" gibi televizyon dizilerindeki küçük rollerle yaşayan aktris, yeteneği ve doğal ekran karizmasıyla kısa sürede Alman televizyon ve sinema endüstrisinin dikkatini çekmeyi başarmıştır.

Kariyerindeki en büyük ve en uzun soluklu çıkışını, Almanya'nın en popüler ve efsanevi polisiye dizisi "Tatort" ile yapmıştır. 2002 yılından itibaren dizinin Münster ekibinde komiser Nadeshda Krusenstern karakterine hayat vermeye başlamış, Frank Thiel (Axel Prahl) ve Prof. Karl-Friedrich Boerne (Jan Josef Liefers) ikilisine eşlik ederek tüm Almanya'da geniş bir hayran kitlesi edinmiştir. Zeki, pratik ve sempatik komiser rolüyle 18 yıl boyunca bu fenomen dizinin ayrılmaz bir parçası olmuş ve 2020 yılında kendi isteğiyle projeden ayrılarak kariyerinde yeni bir sayfa açmıştır.

Televizyondaki polisiye başarısının yanı sıra Kempter, komedi türündeki yeteneğiyle de öne çıkmıştır. 2008 ile 2012 yılları arasında hit komedi skeç şovu "Ladykracher"ın ana kadrosunda yer almış ve buradaki çok yönlü oyunculuğuyla komedi alanındaki rüştünü ispatlamıştır. Sinema dünyasında ise kariyerinin en çok ses getiren performanslarından birini, Jan-Ole Gerster'in yönettiği çok ödüllü bağımsız film "Oh Boy" (A Coffee in Berlin) (2012) ile sergilemiştir. Filmde canlandırdığı duygusal olarak dengesiz tiyatro oyuncusu Julika Hoffmann karakteri, ona Alman Film Ödülleri'nde (Lola) En İyi Yardımcı Kadın Oyuncu dalında adaylık kazandırmış ve dramatik derinliğini sinema eleştirmenlerine de kanıtlamasını sağlamıştır.

Bağımsız ve ana akım Alman sinemasında üretken bir kariyere sahip olan oyuncu, Fatih Akın'ın yönettiği "Tschick" (Goodbye Berlin) (2016) ve komedi filmi "Einsamkeit und Sex und Mitleid" (2017) gibi başarılı yapımlarda da rol almıştır. Aynı zamanda tiyatro sahnesinde de aktif olan ve Berlin'deki çeşitli prestijli tiyatrolarda sahneye çıkan Friederike Kempter, dramadan komediye kadar geniş bir yelpazede sergilediği başarılı performanslarıyla modern Alman sineması ve televizyonunun en saygın ve sevilen oyuncularından biri olarak kariyerine devam etmektedir.
