contact Passanten Filmproduktion ∙ Baranowski & Krummenacher Hinterer Steisteg 26, CH 6430 Schwyz, Switzerland MAIL [email protected] WEB www.passantenfilm.de S ummer heat. No diploma. Too many shoes. Moving in together. City or village. Milena. Heidi. And the mountains. Mountains everywhere. A small Swiss town. Milena didn’t pass school leaving examination, Heidi did. Heidi moves into Milena’s parent’s flat as they are on holiday. Milena wants to find an apartment of her own, together with Heidi. Milena starts working in a shoe warehouse to be able to afford this independence. Things around Milena start getting stranger as Heidi diverges from her more and more. As their friendship lies in ruins, Milena wants to get out and Heidi follows her into the mountains. ‘The title HINTER DIESEN BERGEN — BEYOND THESE MOUNTAINS vaguely symbolizes a certain place, perhaps more than one place. The location for the film was in Schwyz, somewhere in the heart of Switzerland, the place where I grew up. For this film I wanted to re-create this place as a place closed in by mountains, with ist own laws. The outcome was a nameless town which, in the film, sometimes seems surreal, but perhaps exactly for that reason, it reveals more truth than its real model would. It’s a small world where you run into the same people all the time. A safe world that has managed to reduce all external problems as much as possible. And still, or maybe even precisely because of that, Milena’s perspective starts wandering to the mountain peaks... Beyond these mountains lie homeland and outland, certainty and danger, prison and promise.’ Michael Krummenacher BACKGROUND December 2008. Being tired of making shortfilms, the 25 year old directing student Michael Krummenacher decides to shoot his first feature-lenght film as an extra project besides his studies, a low-budget movie without regular funding. Lucky to find a small group of fellow students and other enthusiasts from Germany, Switzerland and even Belgium as well as having knowledge of the support by the University and Television Munich the ball was set rolling. After long days and nights of writing and preparation they managed to finish the script and start shooting HINTER DIESEN BERGEN in August 2009 in Schwyz, Switzerland. Cast and crew were housed in a Swiss Army’s bunker and Krummenacher’s parents had to leave they’re flat for days as it became one of the main shooting locations. And somehow (probably no one really remembers how ...) after twenty days with hardly any sleep the last day of shooting arrived and all the scenes had been shot and stored onto harddisks. Tired but happy they left Schwyz and postproduction of HINTER DIESEN BERGEN started in Munich. Finishing the film in June 2010 with a budget of about 20.000 Euro was only made possible by all the people who believed in it and were relentlessly supporting the project with their heart’s blood and energy. VERA BOMMER — Milena Vera Bommer was born 1982 in Zug, Switzerland, and grew up in the Italian part of Switzerland. In 2007 she graduated from acting school ZHDK, Zurich. Since then Vera Bommer was part of the theater ensembles in Mannheim (Germany) and Biel / Solothurn (Switzerland). She played smaller and bigger roles in several movies like ‘Das F räulein’ by Andrea Staka or ‘Nachtexpress’ by Alex Kleinberger. The part of Milena in HINTER DIESEN BERGEN is her first lead. LUCY WIRTH — Heidi Lucy Wirth was born in 1984 in Zürich, Switzerland. She studied drama in Germany and is currently employed in the ensemble of the Residenztheater in Munich. She enjoys making lists, opening menues in restaurants, mens’ beards, riding her bike in the snow (without ice), crying over novels, vegetables, dancing tango, semicolons. She does not like butter that has gone too soft, the smell in airplanes, saying goodbye over the phone, facebook, the finger- wagging calvinist in her, waking up sweaty. She hopes to be famous, rich and happy in life.
