The New Woman: Annie "Londonderry" Kochovsky/Return to Reichenbach
Return to Reichenbach
Los Angeles Premiere
Documentary/Canada & Germany/55 minutes/2012
Directed by Maureen Kelleher
English & German with English subtitles
This compelling documentary weaves together the stories of two women - one orphaned by the Hitlers regime and the other possibly the Nazi guard who protected her. The film intimately explores and contrasts their World War II experiences and crushing losses, and witnesses their fraught reunion more than half a century later. RETURN TO REICHENBACH gives audiences a rare opportunity to intimately experience history through the eyes of an everyday German woman and a Jewish girl.

The New Woman: Annie Londonderry Kopchovsky
West Coast Premiere
Documentary/USA/27 minutes/2012
Directed by Gillian Willman
Until 1894, there were no female sports stars, no product endorsement deals, and no young, Jewish mothers with the chutzpah to circle the globe on a bicycle. Annie Kopchovsky changed all of that. A spicy blend of adventure, social history, and portrait of an athletic pioneer, The New Woman: Annie Londonderry Kopchovsky is a documentary film about an improbable journey by bicycle and the eccentric, fiery woman who dared to undertake it.
