Abstract
German director Caroline Link has written and directed for both television and film. Her first feature Beyond Silence (1996) was nominated for an Oscar, and her third feature Nowhere in Africa (2001) won the Oscar, making her the second female director of a Best Foreign Language Film Oscar winner (Marleen Gorris was the first with Antonia’s Line in 1995). Link’s other features include Annaluise & Anton (1999), A Year Ago in Winter (2008) and her most recent, Exit Marrakech (2013), which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in September. Caroline Link spoke with Anna Weinstein just days before the premiere.
