Ladybugs do not Dream
- Marienkäfer träumen nicht -

Two female filmmakers present their work at 
Z-Bar, the upcoming Directors Lounge screening. 
Both show a clear female point-of-view onto their 
subject without calling themselves feminists. 
Maru Ituarte, born in Monterrey, Mexico, has 
recorded and collected images of her surrounding 
with a critical view onto the violent, 
destructive and male-oriented aspects of a 
society that separates the male and female 
spheres at large. A found box of Hi-8 tapes, 
meant to be recorded over, became the source for 
a work called “Mexican Goulash", which has a 
stunning similarity to a compilations of those 
self-obsessed clips to be found on Youtube in our 
days. It becomes the portrait of a certain part 
of the middle class.

Ute Ströer's interest in film is based on her 
love for fairy tales and horror movies. The 
filmmaker meticulously works on the look of her 
images, strives for perfection in color and 
composition, and with her film characters she 
tries to achieve the largest band-with of 
expression and possible interpretation. The 
narrator we might have believed to hear exists 
only in the viewer's head, the story we read only 
exists in fragments of symbols, a 
"Glasperlenspiel" of meanings.

Thus, as much as the aesthetic of the two artists 
may differ, they have much in common. Both 
invite, even seduce the viewer to follow onto a 
subjective journey of female perspective, when 
half-way on seemingly secure roads the viewer 
realizes, it's their own imagination that has 
been triggered, their own story they have lived 
through, and actually, there is no such simple 
interpretation.

The artists will be present and available for Q&A.
