Hungerjahre
To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Cinémathèque québécoise, we wanted to highlight our long-term collaboration with the Goethe-Institut. The diffusion of German cinema within our walls has often been set up in collaboration with this cultural organization. This has led to the donation of many films from their collections, which are featured in this program.
1953, West Germany, Ursula is 13, the Federal Republic only four. In a love-hate relationship with her mother, she is also subjected to her father's lies. The young girl lives her youth as best she can, while social instability takes its toll.

Furthermore, she has written essays in film theory, film reviews and radio plays. She was the head of the jury at the 31st Berlin International Film Festival and is a member of multiple Film Juries and advisory committees.

She uses her personal experience as a basis which she expanded to larger issues among women. Moreover, "she believes that film empowers women to display injustices and sees film as nothing less than a recovery for women of the ability to look, to perceive."
