At the sold-out premiere at the Astor Film Lounge in the Arri, the ensemble film about the love between easy-going bicycle shop owner Jan (Dennis Mojen) from Berlin-Kreuzberg and ambitious Pia (Janina Uhse), who is part of a tight-knit clique, and the culture-clash that comes with it gave the audience lots of laughs.

After a welcome from Julia Weigl, Munich Film Festival Artistic Co-Director and Blame The Game producer Marcus Welke, and Netflix Director Film DACH Sasha Bühler, and then after the screening, director Marco Petry and the Blame The Game cast gave exciting and funny insights into the filming process and their roles during a Q&A moderated by Sedat Aslan.

Blame The Game premiers exclusively on Netflix on July 12.
