Mein Herz schlägt Blau - Ella Bergmann-Michel (1989)
A documentary about the artist Ella Bergmann-Michel, who was born in Paderborn in 1895 and died in Eppstein im Taunus in 1972. The film focuses primarily on her work: drawings and collages, photographs, and sequences from her documentary films from the late 1920s. The film brings together what is often mistakenly separated, namely the painter on the one hand and the documentary filmmaker on the other.
Directors: Jutta Hercher, Maria Hemmleb.
