Presented by Masha Matzke
“The reality of the film is the viewer’s imagination. My North Pole in the Ruhr area. Dedicated to Georges Méliès.” (Dore O.)
“Seamlessly, the pictures descend upon her — it is getting tight — yet there are worlds in the wallpaper. Lying down, in a fever, a world of fantasy and dreams emerges — reality fractures into a thousand mirrors, which reflect the patient’s life, work, and memories in a multifaceted manner.” (Dore O.)
“The tip of the nose and the skin formations collapse into each other and re-emerge — much like the flame of the candle.” (Dore O.)
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.
