Vor und hinter der Kamera: Starke Frauen
Große Damen | Sie prägen das Gesicht des Kinos: große
Schauspielerinnen aus dem Norden wie Greta Garbo oder Ingrid Bergman. Aber wie
in keiner anderen Region der Welt haben die Frauen im Norden die Chance
ergriffen, den Film auch hinter der Kamera zu gestalten. Liv
Ullmann, die Ehrenvorsitzende der Nordischen Filmtage Lübeck, die vor
einigen Jahren vom Schauspiel-ins Regiefach wechselte und darin ebensolche
Erfolge feiern konnte, ist ein berühmtes Beispiel. Sie hatte ihre
Wegbereiterinnen: Edith Carlmar war 1949 mit They have moulded the face of cinema: great actresses from
the North like Greta Garbo or Ingrid Bergman. But like nowhere else in the
world women from the North have seized the opportunity to shape the face of
cinema from behind the camera, as well. A very famous example is
Liv Ullmann, the Honorary President of the Nordic Film Days Lübeck, who
not too many years ago moved from acting to directing and was able to celebrate
further international successes in that field. Other women paved the way: Edith
Carlmar was the first woman to direct a feature film in Norway, making
Døden er et kjærtegn (Death is a Caress) in 1949. In
the following
years she make 10 popular
feature films, several melodramas and many light comedies. Palle alene i
verden (Palle Alone in the World) premiered in 1949, the first feature
film solely directed by Astrid Henning-Jensen, who received many international
awards in the course of her long career, including festival prizes in Cannes,
Venice and Berlin as well as an Oscar nomination. Mai Zetterling, after a
successful acting career in Sweden and Great Britain, boldly moved on to
directing. After starting with documentaries, she caused an international
sensation and no few controversies with feature films like Älskande
par (Loving Couples,1964), Flickorna (The Girls,1968) or
Amorosa (1986).These women directors might be exceptional, but
they are no exceptions. Nowhere are women more successfully established as
directors than in the North. The Nordic Film Days devotes the Retrospective to
them. |
