Margarethe von Trotta (born 21 February 1942) is a German film director who has been referred to as a "leading force" of the New German Cinema movement. Von Trotta boasts an impressive body of work that has won her awards all over the world in the last forty years. She was married to and collaborated with director Volker Schlöndorff. Although they made a successful team, von Trotta felt she was seen as secondary to Schlöndorff. Subsequently, she established a solo career for herself and became "Germany’s foremost female film director, who has offered the most sustained and successful female variant of Autorenkino in postwar German film history." Certain aspects of von Trotta’s work have been compared to Ingmar Bergman’s features from the 1960s and 1970s. She says that it was thanks to Bergman's films that she "‘fell in love’ with the medium and its possibilities for representing inner psychic worlds."
Von Trotta has been called "the world’s leading feminist filmmaker." The predominant aim of her films is to create new representations of women. Her films are concerned with relationships between and among women (sisters, best friends, etc.), as well as with relationships between women and men, and involve political setting. Nevertheless, she rejects the suggestion that she makes "women’s films".
Margarethe von Trotta (Hannah Arendt) discusses her new film and motifs in her work at the Toronto International Film Festival. This is an excerpt, watch the full interview at http://www.theseventhart.org Margarethe von Trotta is a German filmmaker whose career began during the famed New German Cinema period. Her films tend to take significant historical and political moments as backdrops to more emotional investigations, particularly between complex, well-drawn women characters. These films include The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum, Marianne and Juliane, Sheer Madness, Rosa Luxemberg, and Rosenstrasse. This is also true of her latest work, a biopic of famous writer and political theorist, Hannah Arendt. Margarethe premiered the film at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, where ...

Ildegarda nasce da una nobile famiglia nel 1098. E’ la minore di dieci fratelli, per cui viene destinata alla vita monastica. All’età di otto anni entra nell’eremo fatto costruire presso il monastero benedettino di Disibodenberg. Viene affidata a Giuditta di Spanhaim, monaca di clausura che la educa e la istruisce in collaborazione con i monaci. All’età di sedici anni pronuncia i voti, ma non sceglie per sé la clausura, come la sua maestra Giuditta, ma preferisce aprirsi al contatto con il mondo esterno. A 52 anni decise di fondare un nuovo monastero a Rupertsberg, per rendersi autonoma dal potere maschile dei monaci benedettini. Con le consorelle affrontò numerosi disagi nella costruzione del monastero. Lì potrà gestire autonomamente il nuovo complesso dando sfogo alla sua esuberante e...
Hannah Arendt, la filósofa judía residente en Estados Unidos, generó protestas en todo el mundo por su artículo sobre el juicio a Eichmann en Jerusalén durante los años sesenta. Su teoría de que "el mal" en el nacionalsocialismo no era de naturaleza demoníaca ni venía dado por un odio en concreto, sino más bien por la indiferencia o la banalidad de sus actores, dio pie a nuevos impulsos para abordar el nacionalsocialismo. Margarethe von Trotta muestra en su película cómo esta pensadora, a pesar de su origen judío, fue malinterpretada por la sociedad de posguerra. La directora, nominada a un Óscar, viajó a Barcelona durante el Festival de Cine Judío y la Muestra Internacional de Films de Mujeres para presenciar el estreno de su película en español el 9 de junio de 2013. En esta ocasión, rev...

Award-winning film director Margarethe von Trotta – who has worked closely with the legendary directors Fassbinder and Schlöndorff – here shares the story of her winding road to becoming one of the leading contemporary German filmmakers. Growing up, von Trotta didn’t go to the cinema very often, but rather to operas, concerts and plays: “Films weren’t really “art” for us. In Germany, films were sentimental with a regional background… you’d watch those on rainy Sundays, when there was nothing else to do.” This changed in the early 1960s, when she was studying in Paris and was introduced to the Nouvelle Vague by fellow students. This sparked an interest in going to the cinema, where she came across ‘The Seventh Seal’ by Ingmar Bergman, whose movies she developed a great fascination of “beca...
