Life

After graduating from high school, Fendel went to New York to escape the confines of her native Cologne. There she took acting courses with Strasberg . She studied German, history and political science. In 1991 Fendel founded the event, PR and artist agency Barbarella Entertainment GmbH, of which she has been the owner and managing director ever since.

In 1985 Fendel began working full-time as a journalist and film critic. She wrote columns for the music magazine Spex and the Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin , reviews and interviews for epd film and stories in anthologies published by KiWi-Verlag. Her writing focused on film and women.

It belongs to the Authors' Collective's column 8:10 - political, poetic, polemic on zeit.de . She also publishes articles in the Frankfurter Allgemeine , the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung , in the Berliner Tagesspiegel and throughout epd film . She writes essays and short stories for publications by the Bertz and Suhrkamp publishers . In 2009, her 99 story novel was only published by Hoffmann and Campe . Her second novel Ten Days in February (2017) takes place against the backdrop of the Berlinale .

Fendel moderates festivals, premieres, discussions, is a guest in talk formats of the WDR and ZDF and teaches at film schools and at advanced training seminars. She appeared in several films as an actress and produced the short film Skilled .

At the beginning of 2016, together with other women, she founded the action alliance We do that , of which she is a board member. The alliance of numerous initiatives, people and institutions was founded to meet the challenge of global migration with humanity and expertise.

After an invitation to the talk format Anne Will , where she discussed #metoo , she put her thoughts on the debate down in interviews, further rounds of talks and in her own contributions in several publications. Heike-Melba Fendel takes a differentiated approach to the debate. It demands a closer, more differentiated and at the same time a more holistic look so that the debate leads to the elimination of grievances and not only serves to outrage, at best private therapy.

Heike-Melba Fendel lives in Cologne and Berlin.
