In the eighties Steyerl shot a Super 8 feminist martial arts film with her best friend Andrea Wolf (who was later killed fighting for Kurdish independence) in the lead role. Steyerl's memories and accounts of Wolf's life provoke the filmmaker to engage in a fundamental reflection on how fact and fiction are intertwined in global discourse.
Dir. Hito Steyerl, Germany, 2004, 25m
This film is also part of Known Unknowns, a film season which explores the camera's role not only in recording events, but also in producing them; it explores the implications of the camera as an agent of change, something which can deceive and beguile as easily as it can record.
