Filmpionierinnen!

We are very excited to announce that award winning filmmaker Christina Rose has been asked to present a behind the scenes work in progress about her current documentary feature film THE LOST VOICE.

On the occasion of the retrospective Filmpionierinnen! Regisseurinnen in Deutschland 1917-1932 (Women Film Pioneers! Female Directors in Germany 1917-1932), the workshop Sichtbarkeit und kolonial-patriarchale Blickregime. Aktuelle Perspektiven zu Filmarbeiterinnen im Stummfilm (Visibility and Colonial-Patriarchal Regimes of Gaze: Current Perspectives on Female Film Workers in Silent Film) will take place on November 1, 2025, at the Zeughauskino in Berlin, Germany.

“I’m very proud to be part of this workshop and to share insights into the process of filmmaking and how our story was shaped from the research stage to the final story. We've been working on this project for some years now and are currently in post-production. It is without questions that I am extremely honored to be part of this workshop as well as to introduce the film of my great-grand aunt Pola.”

The retrospective Filmpionierinnen! (Women Film Pioneers!), curated by Kristina Jaspers, Philipp Stiasny, and Gerlinde Waz, presents the work of a wide variety of female directors from the silent film era. In doing so, it ventures into a field of film history that has only recently begun to be explored in depth and whose film heritage is just as threatened as that of many other forgotten silent and sound films. This makes it all the more gratifying that some of the films in the retrospective have recently been preserved and can now be seen again for the first time in Berlin.

The film series kicks off October 31st and will run until Dezember 20th.

About THE LOST VOICE:

Filmmaker Christina Rose sets out to uncover the mysterious legacy of her great-grand aunt Pola Brückner (Pola Bauer-Adamara), believed to be the first female filmmaker in the Amazon. What begins as a search for lost footage and family history transforms into a powerful exploration of identity, truth, and purpose across generations.
