The Whanganui Film Society is holding a public screening of Paris Calligrammes on October 3.
The film is a portrait of Ulrike Ottinger, one of Germany's most prominent contemporary avant-garde artists, known for her paintings, photographs, and, above all, her films.
An impressive and extensive archive of sensorial memories, historical
photographs, and documentary footage traces the early influences of Ulrike Ottinger's life in Paris in the 1960s.
This was a time marked by her integration into the rich intellectual and cultural circles of the city, but also engagement in the political and social eruptions around the Algerian War and May 1968.
