MISS STINNES - Frulein Stinnes fhrt um die Welt - GermanGems Film Festival

The inaugural GERMAN GEMS film event presents a full day of German cinema with three new movies from Germany on Saturday, March 6 at Arena Theater in Point Arena in Mendocino County. Ingrid Eggers, the founder of the Berlin & Beyond film festival and its guiding spirit until now, returns with a program of three new German-language discoveries.

4 PM: MISS STINNES - Frulein Stinnes fhrt um die Welt (Germany 2009, 90 min.)

MISS STINNES is the dramatic telling of one of the most unusual adventure stories of the 20th century. Clrenore Stinnes conjures up an ambitious dream to circumnavigate the world by car and and has the means to do it. In 1927 she starts in Berlin in an Adler with two mechanics and a cameraman. Miss Stinnes survived the two-year-long journey and so did the Adler, the cameraman, and the footage documenting the insane adventure.

Director Erica von Moeller will attend the screening
