At the beginning of every new era, new stories emerge that become the basis for a changed way of thinking and feeling. Increasingly, voices are being heard that have not been heard before. For me as a woman, this means telling stories also from a female perspective and creating films in which women are not objects of the male gaze, but see for themselves. New perspectives and forms of expression develop from the diversity of our world. To show a world that no one has seen yet is my greatest challenge.
