activities

Annette C. Eckert saw herself as an active part of the feminist culture of West Berlin with an early view over the system boundary to the east during the Cold War. She explains this not only with a general political or cultural interest, but also with the fact that she was conceived "on the night of May 8-9, 1945 in Berlin" in the course of her mother's love affair with a young Red Army soldier. In retrospect, she justifies her early openness towards Soviet authors and filmmakers, for example, with a "resistance to anti-communism" during her school days.

During her time as the head of the taz's cultural editorial team, projects for the analysis, documentation and evaluation of portrayals of women in literature, photography and film were created. This also applies to outside of mittendrin , a feminist cross-over art project at the end of the GDR , which exclusively presented female artists from the GDR in the West.

After starting out at the left-wing alternative magazine Agit 883, Annette C. Eckert began with professional journalism, according to her own statement, at Bambule , the information service for disseminating missed news (ID), Courage and taz .

She was involved in the International Women's Film Festival in Minsk ( Belarus ) and the first Lesbian and Gay Festival in St. Petersburg / Leningrad ( Russia ). During her time as a member of the selection committee of the Festival for Documentary and Animated Films Leipzig at the turn of the ages, the festival received the international emblem of UNESCO and was able to establish itself as an A festival.

She has also provided advice and support to numerous award-winning film productions, including: a. in Radiant Future (1978), I always say that when my hair is done and I am wearing a nice pair of shoes, I am fully dressed! (1984), Liberators and Liberated (1991/1992), Tot in Lübeck (1996) and Who are you, that you speak (2006).

She has since turned away from the taz . She sees Karl Heinz Roth's early fears confirmed and, as she says, shares Hermann L. Gremliza's assessment that it is a “children's FAZ ”. Instead, she writes for the Junge Welt .
