LIFETIMESHORT
(UMDEINLEBEN)

In the end you are alone. As you are in-between. How do you movielize this? A film with a radically new vanguard but at the same time entertaining cinematic language to capture different modern ways of life and worlds of work. Coercive-individualized but then again caught in the same world wide web. Always on your way between commercial paradise and the abyss of your soul. It’s hard to enjoy yourself when you’re on your own. Humour of suicide and the futureless. Very successful urban people. Slightly hysterical. Like the rest of us – if we would only let it run. A film about six women. A female director, producer and writer – not a chick flick, but a chick flick. A female perspective that nevertheless should be read gender- neutrally. About cities and cities. Lonelinesses and making money. […] For more than a year Gesine Danckwart whose theatrical plays and projects are performed all around the world developed her very special film debut in cooperation with the actresses. Well known theatre and film divas. In the suspense created between authenticity and high art. (dankwart&hansen.film)

MONDO LUX – DIE BILDERWELTEN DES WERNER SCHROETER (excerpts)

In 2011, filmmaker and cinematographer Elfi Mikesch paid tribute to her colleague Werner Schroeter (1945-2010) in this tender and insightful documentary poem. Schroeter was a filmmaker, theater director, photographer and eloquent cinéaste and art lover. We are showing the parts of the film in which Schroeter prepares and rehearses the play ANTIGONE/ELEKTRA with Anne Ratte-Polle and others in a newly-built stage in front of the Volksbühne.
