Keren Cytter

Born 1977 in Tel Aviv, Israel. Lives and works in Berlin.

Cytter is a filmmaker based in Europe. The central element in her work is the long monologue or narration — a literary device that spins her tales in a philosophical and sometimes surreal fashion. Meanwhile, visually, her use of the handicam lends a rough documentary feel, and the viewer becomes aware of a disconnect between narrative and image. Cytter is also an accomplished author, and has written novels, poetry, and an opera libretto.
