AFRAID DOESN'T EXIST

Synopsis
Anna Zett collages forgotten footage from the Berlin Archive of the GDR Opposition into a pulsating and poetic short thriller. A now defunct police state is made tangible both as a source of nebulous horror, and as a site of intimate political agency.

Since her first film release in 2014, Zetts work has been shown in the international art context and at film festivals, for example at Berlinale Forum Expanded, Serpentine Gallery London, Whitney Museum New York, Berlinische Gallerie, CAC Vilnius, Or Gallery Vancouver, HKW Berlin. Her publications include two experimental radio plays for the German public broadcast and the literary text collection Artificial Gut Feeling (Divided Publishing, 2019).
