Through her fragmented personalities you see the emergence of a new generation, in which the concept of a fixed identity has grown old. A boundary-pushing exploration into harnessing sexual autonomy and empowerment in a 21st-century world. SEARCHING EVA was screened in the 2019 Berlinale Panorama and was nominated for the Teddy Award. "A beautiful cinematic mosaic of a woman. I love the self-consciously fictional character of the documentary, which doesn't detract from the sense of authenticity at all. On the contrary. I always think it's great when the form of a documentary film is inspired entirely by the expression of the protagonists or the subject matter." (Sooner curator Eva Neidlinger) "The artificiality of the images skillfully reflects the self-presentation of the protagonist Eva, who alternates between different identities. For me, it's a movie worth seeing, which joyfully frees itself from conventions." (Sooner curator Isis Rampf)
