Birgit Hein – Memories for the future
Films and Talk
Birgit Hein – pioneer of German underground and experimental film and the evaluation of film as art, controversial actor, performer and exhibition curator – questions the cliché of women as victims in Die unheimlichen Frauen: the protagonists are partisans, guards or criminals. Her film Kriegsbilder, a found-footage montage of mobile phone videos and television documentaries, is also controversial.
