Ingeborg Fülepp about the film 'Mona Mur in Conversation'
I highly recommend this compelling film about the extraordinary artist Mona Mur. It offers a rich insight into Berlin’s music scene from the 1980s to the present day, while also revealing the depth and originality of Mona Mur’s artistic journey. Director Dietmar Post employs a strikingly unconventional interview format: Mona Mur addresses a monitor displaying archival footage and photographs from her concerts. At key moments, these visuals take over the screen, accompanied by immersive sound, powerfully showcasing her voice, stage presence, and music. The film captures not only the avant-garde spirit of the era when she emerged in Berlin’s underground scene, but also highlights the breadth of her later work — including her remarkable compositions for film, video games, and media art. Skillfully directed, this documentary is more than a portrait of a singular artist; it’s also a cultural chronicle of Berlin through several of its most compelling artistic movements. It will resonate deeply with young artists, creatives, and anyone still driven by curiosity and the desire to push boundaries. Watching this film leaves you wanting to experience Mona Mur live — and fortunately, that’s entirely possible. After a period away from the spotlight, she has returned to touring internationally.
