EXPERIMENTAL
Ines has directed close to twenty experimental 16mm films and videos that have screened at film festivals, independent theaters, and alternative venues in the U.S. and Germany. They range from micro-shorts to the feature-length docu-fiction Ghost Cities, which traces the downward spiral of a woman who has slipped into an abyss of urban dreams and social invisibility. Ines' interest in politics, history, and the essay form informed My Germany: Unqualified Remarks of a Distant Observer, an award-winning video essay that reflects on her own upbringing in Germany and what her generation was taught about the Holocaust.
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 skewer archetypes and consumer culture with a light touch. 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.
