"Lena Urzendowsky, the Berlin-raised actress, on the other hand, has become known for something entirely different: incredibly intense portrayals of stories shaped by pain and growth, humanity in a deeply real way, characters that are anything but boring, and an aura that draws you in while feeling both relatable and strangely distant at the same time."
"Since starting her acting career in 2014, she has won numerous awards, worked alongside well-known German names such as Jella Haase, Lena Klenke, and Damian Hardung. Most recently, she became part of the 2026 Berlin International Film Festival jury in the Generation section. Not to mention that one of her latest films, Sound of Falling (2025), won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival last year."
"Her nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the German Film Awards for her performance as Angelika in Sound of Falling. Directed by Mascha Schilinski, the film is set on an old rural farm in the Altmark region and follows four different characters across four different periods of time. While each of them deals with their own fears, traumas, and challenges, the stories slowly begin to blur together, exploring generational experiences, identity, and the feeling of time itself."
