After the head of the production company Constantin Film, Martin Moszkowicz, commented in an interview with the F.A.Z. on the allegations that there was a climate of fear on the film set of Til Schweiger's "Manta Manta - Zwoter Teil" and that Schweiger harassed employees, actress Nora Tschirner has now spoken out again in a video on her Instagram channel.

Tschirner, who years ago appeared in front of the camera together with Til Schweiger for the cinema hits "Keinohrhasen" and "Zweiohrküken", is one of those who fundamentally criticize the working conditions in the film industry. It was an open secret, the actress had explained last week, that for decades such conditions prevailed, as they were described in a "Spiegel" article for the shooting of "Manta Manta 2": "And I have to honestly say: I don't feel like it anymore," said Nora Tschirner.

Moszkowicz referred to this criticism in the F.A.Z. interview: "I appreciate Nora Tschirner very much, she has shot for us again and again in recent years," said the head of Constantin Film. "I just saw her a few days ago in Munich at one of our major feature film productions. She has never come to me in all these years and said: "The conditions at Constantin Film are so intolerable that I don't want to work here anymore." Nevertheless, every criticism must be taken seriously.

In her new video, the actress now explains that she actually wanted to avoid commenting on herself. She wants to contribute to a discussion on occupational health and safety measures in film productions and in other industries. It is about "work and togetherness". However, since Moszkowicz now gives the impression in the F.A.Z. interview that she "goes in and out of Constantin's" and has never expressed criticism, she has to disagree.

"I'm currently filming with Constantin and after the first day of shooting I wrote a very comprehensive message to the producer and expressed myself very critically there," Tschirner said in her new statement. "That's why I can't leave it as if I've always been too cowardly to say anything. That's just not the case. I know what it's like: an article like that comes out, everyone writes off, and then you have the thing on the hook. But I don't want that."

After the video, she displays part of the text message she sent to the producer of her current production. In it, Tschirner writes: "You could use your high positions in the industry to help build a new, fair film system in which such conversations become unnecessary because such times become more normal. Because the scientific fact is accepted that a day has 24 hours and that an organism has capacity limits and regeneration phases and people a life outside of sets, and apart from a certain number of hours, no human being can deliver more quality, no matter which department and no matter which trade. Not to mention mental health."
