Supergirl: Iris Berben im Gespräch

Directed by Horst Peter Koll

In a 30-minute workshop talk, actress Iris Berben remembers her early leading role in the German film "Supergirl - Das Mädchen von den Sternen" (1971) by director Rudolf Thome in detail. "When I saw the movie again, it sent me on a wonderful journey," recalls the actress. It was a journey back to her beginnings. "It's a wonderful coincidence that young German film also began at this time." For Iris Berben, the re-watching of "Supergirl" became a melancholy look back, in which she observed herself as a young actress in the role of the mysterious alien Francesca Farnese as well as seeing all her colleagues again, including above all Marquard Bohm (1941-2006), this "wonderful madman", with whom she had already played in her first feature film "Detektive" (1969), also directed by Rudolf Thome.
