ARCHIVE PRODUCER

As an archive producer, I provide archive research, rights clearance and budget control for documentaries and feature films. Past work included productions for ARD, ZDF, ARTE and cinema distribution.

I know how to illustrate historical moments and personal stories from all over the world with the right sources. My special expertise: I’ve worked extensively with the archives of the German public broadcasts (television and radio) as well as the German Federal Archives (Bundesarchiv).

I also offer workshops on archive producing for filmmakers, production companies and editorial teams.

I’m a member of GRAP, the German Researchers and Archive Producers e.V.

Almost half a century ago, a young woman dared to speak out publicly with trenchant theses on gender roles and abortion laws. The reactions were fierce. Decades before the invention of the internet, Alice Schwarzer provoked the first major misogynist shitstorm in the history of West Germany. To this day, the mention of her name is followed by controversial and emotional reactions. The film “Alice” tells the story of how an unknown 21-year-old German develops into a personality who provokes the fiercest controversies and yet continues to go her own way undeterred.
