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!

EFFUGERE tells the story of a family whose everyday life is destroyed by the sudden eruption of war. It is a story about escape, loss, and the search for hope in a world that offers little protection to the vulnerable.
