Geoblocked film in Quebec.
Painter, photographer, and filmmaker Ulrike Ottinger is recognized as a leading figure of the German avant-garde. The artist shares her memories of Paris (where she lived between 1962 and 1969) in her latest documentary, which features images of then and now, historical accounts, and excerpts from her films and other works. She revisits iconic sites including Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the Latin Quarter, and Montparnasse, joining up with artists and writers she has known and who have influenced her path from painting to cinema. She also recalls the political and social climate of the time, overshadowed as it was by the fallout from the war in Algeria, the protests against the war in Vietnam, the drama of May ‘68, and the legacy of the colonial era. Paris Calligrammes is a major artist’s clear-sighted look back at her youth, and at a career on the ascendant, in the smouldering atmosphere of the City of Light in the 1960s.
