Her first production from 1988, the animated film 23 Barbie Dolls Tip Over , was shown at the Rotterdam International Film Festival . In 1994 she founded the filmmaker collective "Freie Berliner Ischen" (FBI), with which she organizes Super 8 film shows.

According to Wilfried Hippen, the focus is not on the band, but rather “we try to feel the effects of their songs”.
