ABSENT PRESENT and other films by Angelika Levi

Angelika Levi's voice leads through her filmography like a thread. The filmmaker is also visible - sometimes more, sometimes less. It's as though she floats through her films. The starting point of her associative worlds is direct experience. She repeatedly determines her position to ensure her own identity, to then abandon herself to the flow of imagination. She neither revolves around herself nor looses her ground. Instead, she creates a confidence allowing the viewer to freely follow the chain of associations and discern a method of social criticism in undetermined processes of perception, something which can never come to an end.
