Die allseitig reduzierte Persönlichkeit – Redupers (35mm) - Open Air Kino

In the organizer's words:

Director: Helke Sander, BRD 1978, 98 minutes, 35mm, original German version

"When all she has left to do is wait, she begins a game of skill that she takes up from time to time during various telephone calls: she practises dropping things unintentionally: Papers, pencils, newspapers, books..." Edda Chiemnyjefski, a single photographer, starts a photo project about West Berlin with a group of women and tries to prove to herself and her environment that it is possible in our society to be a mother, to be a woman, and to work in a profession of her own choosing. To achieve this, she tries to eliminate everything superfluous from her everyday life. The only problem is that there is hardly anything superfluous that can be eliminated.

Helke Sander is a German director, actress and activist who was one of the co-founders of the Action Council for the Liberation of Women in 1968 and also founded the magazine Frauen und Film in 1974. In her first feature-length film, in which she also plays the leading role, Sander dispenses with fixed stage directions. The scenes emerge from the moment, "...through this concentration on the core, the right words and positions form themselves, (...) because they have been developed from within." (Helke Sander)
