Xoanon

Dore O.

Born in 1946 in Mulheïm, Germany, Dore O. began her artistic career as a painter, before becoming one of the first women to occupy a prominent position in the German experimental film scene in the 1960s with her independent productions. She was the only woman to help found the Hamburg Film Co-op, where she was particularly active. For over 35 years, she built up an uncompromising filmography, paving the way and inspiring generations of artists to come, at the crossroads of structuralism and feminism.
