FILM PIONEER MARGARET RASPÉ IN A PORTRAIT BY LENA DITTE NISSEN Friday, March 21, 4:15 PM, Motorenhalle, Wachsbleichstraße 4a (Backyard), 01067 Dresden

Lena Ditte Nissen (*1987 DE/DK) shot her experimental short film "Es gibt" ("There is"), in 2020 during a meeting with the avant-garde filmmaker Margaret Raspé (1933–2023). They spent three weeks together on a Greek island, where Raspé lived. The film explores Raspé’s artistic themes, such as automatism, control, and feminism.  In addition Lena Ditte Nissen will present films by Margaret Raspé, shot in her innovative series of camera helmet films in the 1970s:

Oh Tod wie nahrhaft bist Du (1972)
Alle Tage wieder - Let Them Swing (1974)
Selbstbewegungen des Frautomaten oder Schein bleibt Schein (1977)
