Annot – Portrait einer Malerin und Pazifistin
Katja Raganelli was not solely interested in female filmmakers, but women artists in general. This early work offers a portrait of painter-educator-pacifist Anna Ottonie Krigar-Menzel, also known as Annot. Suppressed by the Nazis and forced into exile, it’s tempting to consider Annot a key inspiration for Raganelli, as one of her main works is a late 1920s cycle of paintings called Faces of Working Women, depicting female surgeons, physiotherapists, all manner of women’s labour.
