EXPERIMENTAL
Ines has directed close to twenty experimental 16mm films and videos that have screened at film festivals, cinemas, and alternative venues in the U.S. and Germany. They range from micro-shorts to the docufiction feature Ghost Cities, which follows a woman's downward trajectory through an urban dreamscape into social invisibility. Ines' interest in politics, history, and the essay form informed My Germany: Unqualified Remarks of a Distant Observer, an award-winning essay film about her home country's troubled past.
Among Ines' experimental 16mm shorts are red shoe and A Still Life of Postcards, which focus on women's roles and motherhood, while mud & glory and The Fetishism of Commodities and the Secret Thereof use humor to skewer archetypes and consumer culture. Included in a special Super-8 program at the Berlin International Film Festival, Que la lumière soit is Ines' small gauge tribute to the Lumiere Brothers' pioneering films. Full filmography available upon request.
Ines latest short was heating & cooling, an ephemeral summer breeze of a film that was set on fire after a one-time screening at Chicago's historic Music Box Theatre as part of the Destroy Your Art event in September 2023.
