Of Origins, Part 3: Frau Pappenheim (2019)

Synopsis

Of Origins is a series of short experimental documentary films about the lives and afterlives of a group of Jewish feminists in Germany in the early and mid-20th century. Each short film is a speculative love letter, spun out of strange incidents in the archives and the filmmaker’s fantasy of finding her radical forebears.

In the third installment, the filmmaker addresses Bertha Pappenheim, feminist writer, and founder of the Jewish Women's Association in Germany.
