Stefanie Kreuzer (ed.): Doris Dörrie. Kassel Grimm Poetry Professorship 2022. Würzburg: Königshausen & Neumann 2023.

Doris Dörrie, Grimm Poetics Professor 2022, is one of the most well-known and internationally successful German filmmakers. She also writes screenplays, fictional (narrative) texts, children's books and non-fiction books. Many of her films are relationship comedies that often focus on eccentric (individual) characters and explore social stereotypes and role clichés, male-female relationships and gender issues in a humorous to biting way - including Männer (D 1985), Erleuchtung garantiert (D 1999), Nackt (D 2002), Kirschblüten - Hanami (D 2008), Die Friseuse (D 2010) and Grüsse aus Fukushima (D 2016). The first part of the volume documents the GPP events with film examples, audience discussions and texts from "Die Heldin reist" (2022). Constanze Engelhardt and Lea Vemino report on their experiences at the poetry seminar. The second part includes film contributions - one by Stefanie Kreuzer on Frau Dörrie und die Gespenster (D 2022; dir.: Thomas Henke) and one by Jasmin Weber on Freibad (D 2022).
