Anke Ame’s attitude to life is one of love: people, music, ideas. This is how the violist, author and illustrator has found her centre. Her last hospital stay was several years ago. The doctors call it a bipolar disorder, Anke herself describes her task as eating shadows. She absorbs everything negative from others and transforms it into art. This role drives her into depression or mania. In self-written texts and with improvised music, she gives us an insight into a life marked by extreme feelings – not uncommon among artists.

Since 1998, Ulrike Korbach’s love has been documentary film. Old friendships from the punk era, an open approach and political interest make close portraits of people possible. Funny, touching and informative. What their films have in common is a basic attitude that listens. Without cautionary off-text and staging, but with an observing view in the style of Cinéma vérité.
