Montgomery Fellow Ulrike Ottinger presents and discusses selections from her latest work, Chamisso’s Shadow, a documentary series that re-traces 19th-century expeditions from Alaska across the Bering Strait, meditating on the nature of the region and the indigenous people living in the Kodiak region today.

Chamisso’s Shadow (2016), which will premier in New York on October 20th, is inspired by the historical reports of famous explorers such as Vitus Bering, Thomas Cook, Alexander von Humboldt, Georg Forster, and Adelbert von Chamisso. Following their expeditions, Ottinger sets out on a journey that brought her to Alaska, the Aleutian Archipelago, the Kamchatka peninsula, and Chukotka. The movie captures her engagement with the people in the region, who constantly cross the US-Russian border to visit family members on the other side of the Bering Sea. Ottinger shows, how these related ethnic groups and cultures had been marked by a long history of colonial transformation and foreign economic interests, how they meet and interact while insisting on their indigenous languages and traditional knowledge. The movie crosses over various disciplines, from Native American, Women & Gender Studies, via Anthropology, Geography, and Arctic Studies, to Comparative Literature, German and Film Studies. Montgomery Fellow Ulrike Ottinger is one of the most prominent German filmmakers. In several special features, The New York Times pointed out that the “one-woman avant-garde,” who is also known for her photographs and paintings, has to be seen within a whole generation of German filmmakers such as Wim Wenders, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, and Werner Herzog.

Runtime: 60 minutes compilation, followed by a 40minutes discussion, moderated by Prof. Gerd Gemünden.

“My films are often set in futuristic landscapes and create a surreal imagery, but my inspirations often come from reality, from observing the world, the people, their different cultures and traditional role patterns.“
