Film

Sina Martens' work in film is very detailed and her acting method very precise. Thus, in a nuanced and sensitive way, she captures the immediacy and the strangeness of a human being. Her characters are headstrong women who, also without much means, bravely know how to make their way.

The actress intuitively knows the contradictions of human motivations. Whether as a co-dependent single mother who has to find herself in the relationship with her own alcoholic mother, as an independent resistance fighter who is prepared to go to her death for her personal, but also social freedom, as a reckless tourist who is kidnapped and locked in a trunk fighting for her survival, as an energetic woman and mother who wears her heart on her sleeve and never shies away from conflict, or as a shape-shifter, a woman completely underestimated by society. The actress always manages powerful and perceptive depictions of human behavior.

Directors like Andreas Dresen, Irene von Alberti, Lars Becker, Lennart Ruff, Marc Schießer, Michael Krummenacher, Nele Mueller-Stöfen and Philipp Leinemann treasure the credibility of her realistic acting which also allows for the ambiguity of a human being as well as his/her mysteries, and they have put this to use in remarkable productions such as 'Delicious', 'Die geschützten Männer' ('The Protected Men'), 'Einmal Immer' ('Once Always'), 'In Liebe, Eure Hilde' ('With Love, Hilde'), 'Landesverräter' ('Traitors'), 'Trunk', 'Weightless' as well as and the series 'Bone Palace' or 'I Don’t Work Here'.
