About the Author

ULRIKE OTTINGER (*1942, Constance) is one of the most import ant German filmmakers. Moving to Berlin in 1973, she became a pioneer of avant-garde cinematography. Ottinger's photographic works, feature films and documentaries have been shown at major international festivals and retrospectives, including the MoMa in New York, Berlinale, the documenta and the Venice Biennale.

TABEA BLUMENSCHEIN (1952-2020) was a cult figure of West Berlin's queer feminist subculture in the 1970s and 80s. For about ten years, she played a key role in Ottinger's films as leading actress and costume designer, and was part of legendary avant garde punk collective Die tödliche Doris. In the 1990s she withdrew from the public, yet remained active as an artist until her death.
