BEST DOKS – Audience Highlight
SHE CHEF
Deutschland, Österreich 2022 – Director: Melanie Liebheit, Gereon Wetzel – Original with English subtitles (Q&A with director Melanie Liebheit) – Length: 105 min.
Agnes' years as a young chef in Europe's Michelin-starred restaurants are instructive: she convinces the head chefs with her ability, but the pressure is enormous. Can Agnes stand her ground in this male-dominated world? Her self-declared goal is to be the boss in her own restaurant. The directors get right up close to the action in extremely cramped spaces and grant us an insight into new approaches in high-end cuisine. Maren Willkomm
