Life

Cristina Perincioli was born in Bern in 1946 as the daughter of the sculptor Marcel Perincioli and the artisan Hélène Perincioli, born in 1946 . Jörns born. She is the granddaughter of the Bernese sculptor Etienne Perincioli . Cristina Perincioli moved to Berlin in 1968 to study at the German Film and Television Academy . Here the 68 movement motivated her to make documentaries (“Nixon in Berlin”, “Occupation of a student dormitory”, “Kreuzberg belongs to us”, “Population Explosion”) and to feature films.

Perincioli's short film on a women’s strike, “For Women, Chapter 1” from 1971 is one of the first “women’s films ” of the time and in Oberhausen won the first prize of the film journalists in the same year. Harun Farocki writes: “You can see the fun that liberating knowledge is.” The film was re-released in 2014 in a short film anthology on five decades of “women’s film”. In the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Eleonor Benítez emphasizes the neglected historical importance of female cinema pioneers for young German film as well . She sees Perincioli's “For Women, Chapter 1” as paradigmatic for a topic that unites all women filmmakers of this era:

“But if there is a topic that makes itself heard in numerous female voices in the film, it is the pursuit of freedom . In the funny film by Cristina Perincioli, which she shot together with shop assistants and housewives, supermarket employees stand up against male strategies of paternalism and surveillance. If you consider that until 1977 women in the FRG were not allowed to work without the consent of their husbands, Perincioli's film from 1971 depicts a revolutionary piece of contemporary history . "

In 1969 Perincioli was active in the anarcho-paper Agit 883 , then in 1972 co-founder of the lesbian movement and in 1973 the first Berlin women's center in Kreuzberger Hornstrasse 2, and in 1977 the women's emergency number (West) Berlin. In 1975, together with her partner Cäcilia Rentmeister , she wrote the script for the first feature film about a lesbian relationship on German television ("Anna and Edith", ZDF ).

In 1977 Perincioli founded Sphinx Filmproduktion GmbH with Marianne Gassner as production manager. The docufiction “The power of men is the patience of women” (ZDF 1978) is also shown internationally. From an interview with Perincioli:

“When I saw the first houses for abused women in England in 1974, I began to question women in Berlin about violence from partners and found an unprecedented level of abuse. We - women from the women's movement and committed journalists - began to mobilize the public with radio and television programs and the book Violence in Marriage. In 1976 the first women's refuge was built in West Berlin . In 1978 we shot this film together with women from this women's shelter. The film successfully strengthened the women's refuge movement in Germany, Australia, Canada, the USA, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden and India. The title became a watchword. "

In 2008, Michael Althen described the functions and effects of the film in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung as a “… docufiction in which residents of Berlin's first women's shelter re-enact and comment on their experiences with domestic violence. It is not about the individual fate, but about the recurring patterns of violence and remorse on the men's side, feelings of guilt and shame on the women's side, about humiliating experiences in government offices and the whole vicious circle of social and emotional dependencies. The film is strongest when it articulates the silence of the social environment and the lack of moral courage. By the way , the beating man is played by Eberhard Feik , who later became Commissioner Schimanski's assistant . "

From the 1970s, Perincioli also published as a radio and book author and thus contributed - inspired by research in London and Harrisburg / USA - to public debate and awareness-raising about domestic violence and the risks of nuclear energy. From 1990 onwards she developed interactive story-telling, based on it a first adventure adventure with interactive video (1992), and designed seven computer learning games for public spaces (“Laut ist out”, “Ach die few drops”, “Female, male - and in between ”,“ Kulturtester Rebellion ”).

She taught directing at the KIMC Kenya Institute of Mass Communication in Nairobi and the Berlin University of the Arts , computer animation at the German Film and Television Academy , the Babelsberg Film Academy and the Merz Academy Stuttgart, and multimedia design at the Design Schools in Bern and Basel until 1997 .

From the end of the 1990s she dared to tackle “sensitive topics” such as sexual and domestic violence and created - using user-friendly methods such as “discovery, self-directed learning” - award-winning web platforms for further training, victim support and prevention, with funding from the German Federal Environment Foundation , the German Youth Brand Foundation , the Daphne Program of the European Commission and the Federal Ministry for Family, Seniors, Women and Youth BMFSFJ .

In 2015 Perincioli's book “Berlin Becomes Feminist. The best that remained of the 1968 movement ”. Using Berlin as an example, she tells the furious years of the New Women and Lesbian Movement 1968–1974 from her own experience and lets 28 other actors have their say. She describes the beginning of the New Women's Movement as an example of how a modernization of society was initiated “from below” and names autonomy and grassroots democracy as prerequisites. In a one-hour report by Vera Block on rbb-Rundfunk 2015, Perincioli also describes the little-known fact to what extent anarchism was a precondition for an autonomous women's movement.

For Sonya Winterberg , the book makes it clear that the new German women's movement has 'many mothers':

“Perincioli… [gives] detailed and highly entertaining insights into the early lesbian and women's movement […] Undogmatic, grassroots democracy, autonomous and highly creative, lively projects, women's centers and lesbian groups were created, some of which still exist today. When Perincioli writes of 'the best that remained of the 68 movement', this is no exaggeration […] Anyone who still believes that Alice Schwarzer was the mother of the new women's and lesbian movement would do well to take a look behind the scenes here to throw. "

Claire Horst also emphasizes the new 'look behind the scenes':

“What a biography! Cristina Perincioli can tell the genesis of the second German women's movement first hand, because she was there from the beginning [...] Trench warfare and conflicts within the movement are therefore not left out ... [What the biography also] allows to read with profit is the self-critical and often humorous attitude that the author takes today, but without distancing herself from her former goals. "Horst also emphasizes the Berlin reference:" The book can also be read as the cultural history of alternative Berlin in the 60s and 70s . "
