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)
