Ingeborg Bachmann – Jemand, der einmal ich war (DF, Openair-Kino)
In a poetic exploration, director Regina Schilling delves into the life of Ingeborg Bachmann on an imaginary day, portrayed by Sandra Hüller.
Through an artful interweaving of improvised scenes, archival treasures, interviews, and Bachmann’s own writings, the film traces the author’s key life stages—from her childhood during the war in Carinthia, to her rise as a star of Group 47, to her final days in Rome.
