Every Line Becomes a Circle


The documentary film, “Every Line Becomes A Circle” celebrates the extraordinary life of 93- year-old post-war German artist, Inge Besgen who began to pursue her dream of becoming an artist at age 50 against the conventions of her time. In our documentary we explore how Inge broke from the typical conventions that prevailed and were expected of women in the 1950s in West Germany.


Stay tuned after the films for a special recorded Q&A with filmmaker Lynnette Luis!

New Zealand astronomer Beatrice Tinsley was the first person to prove in the 1960s that the universe would expand forever. However when she sets off to the Dallas, Texas to get her theory of the universe heard, she is met with a lot of resistance by her peers.
