REEPERBAHN
2002 | 14 min | DV video
2003 Silver Plaque, Chicago International Film Festival
An experimental documentary about a visit from a Jewish-American video artist to her close friend, a German dancer living on The Reeperbahn — the main drag of Hamburg’s “St. Pauli” red-light district. This short video raises questions about contemporary identity, recent European history and control over representation. Shot and edited in a poetic, cinema vérité style on digital video.
Music: Down River (Ryder Cooley, Anah-K Coates)
