ULRIKE OTTINGER FILMRETROSPEKTIVE
A MASTER OF TRANSFORMATION
"In Ulrike Ottinger’s film work, everything may undergo a metamorphosis: a pirate manifesto transforms into a feminist fantasy, a vampire glides through contemporary Vienna as if it were her private theatre, Orlando returns in ever new incarnations, and documentary meets unlimited fantasy fiction in a full-fledged cinematic ritual. The 26th edition of TAURON New Horizons International Film Festival is going to celebrate the work of German filmmaker, painter, photographer, screenwriter, producer, and architect of her own worlds; an artist who, since the 1970s has created a singular body of work—baroquely precise, camp, erudite, and forever ready to cross boundaries. The artist will be in attendance in Wrocław for the retrospective opening and a Polish premiere of her latest work, The Blood Countess."
