Levi's artistic work unfolded in what was formerly West Berlin in the 1980s. Her early films work with the reality of life as part of the squatting, punk, new wave and drug scene and often show them in private and collective spaces of the gay-lesbian, feminist subculture. In 1983 Angelika Levi founded the women's band Subsonic together with Josje Pater, Stefanie Mahlknecht and others .

Levi's films have been shown at international film festivals, in exhibitions and in cinemas since 1985. Her first long production, the autobiographical documentary My Life Part 2 , premiered at the Berlinale 2003 in the International Forum of Young Films section and won, among other things, the sponsorship award of the city of Duisburg , the award for long documentary film of the Jewish Film Festival Warsaw and the audience award of the Lesbian and Gay Film Days Hamburg .
