Premieres Friday, April 23 in Film Forum’s Virtual Cinema
Written, Directed & Photographed by Ulrike Ottinger
“I was 20 years young, and I’d come to Paris to become an important young artist. In my euphoria, I wanted to convert all of my experiences into art … How could I make a film from the perspective of the very young artist I remember with the experience of the older artist I am today?”
