Goethe-Kino - Special Online Event
In June this year, Ulrike Ottinger turned 80. To celebrate this occasion and to mark the handing over of a new book in English entitled
Ulrike Ottinger: Film, Art and the Ethnographic Imagination to the publisher (Berghahn) this September we are delighted to welcome Ulrike Ottinger for an online event. She will be in conversation with renowned film theorist Mandy Merck. The conversation will also be joined by Angela McRobbie, long standing advocate of Ottinger’s work and the book’s editor. Taking Ottinger’s most recent film, the autobiographical
Paris Caligrammes, as point of departure they will be talking about Ottinger’s career, influences and interests.
