Film Talk with Melanie Liebheit, Gereon Wetzel & Agnes Karrasch Directors & Protagonist of SHE CHEF

Moderation: Daniel Lang


SHE CHEF, AT, DE 2022, Melanie Liebheit, Gereon Wetzel


Agnes' years as a young chef in Europe's Michelin-starred
restaurants are instructive: she convinces the head chefs with
her ability, but the pressure is enormous. Can Agnes stand her
ground in this male-dominated world? Her self-declared goal is to
be the boss in her own restaurant. The directors get right up
close to the action in extremely cramped spaces and grant us an
insight into new approaches in high-end cuisine.
