Just An Ordinary Life
Dir. Pamela Meyer-Arndt. Germany 2006, 72m.

Life in East Germany across three decades is revealed and explored through the eyes of three photographers – Sibylle Bergemann, Helga Paris and Gundula Schulze Eldowy – who together provide an unusually tender and feminine view of an exceptionally beautiful but grey reality.

Helga Paris, born in 1938, holds an outstanding position in German photography. Whilst making an extraordinary contribution to European photography, she and her contemporaries were almost completely unknown in Britain. Her exhibition Helga Paris: Fotografie at Street Level Photoworks, which finished last month, provided a unique insight into her photographic work. This film was shown in accompaniment with the exhibition, and returns for a second screening due to its success.

The film will be introduced by Dr. Deborah Lewer, British Art Historian and Senior Lecturer at the University of Glasgow.
