Ingemo Engström

Writer, director and producer. She studied Psychology, Medicine and Literature in Helsinki, Hamburg and Munich and wrote a study about the use of imagery in the writings of Ingeborg Bachmann. From 1967 to 1970 she also studied at the Academy of Film and Television (HFF) in Munich, together with Wim Wenders, Werner Schroeter, and above all Gerhard Theuring. Between Dark Spring (1970), her graduation film, and Mrs. Klein (1995), she has made eight feature-length films. One of them, Fluchtweg nach Marseille (1977), she co-directed with Theuring, another, Erzählen (1975), with Harun Farocki. Engström’s films produce their own feeling of rhythm and duration. They are connected to one another by motifs (car journeys, bodies of water, music) and recurring actors (Rüdiger Vogler, Katharina Thalbach, her daughter Muriel Theuring).
