PARIS CALLIGRAMMES is German filmmaker and avant-garde artist Ulrike Ottinger's love letter to the city where she came of age, and her explorations of her own artistic growth, fueled by bookshops, jazz clubs, workshops and cafés. "Calligramme" is the term coined by Guillaume Apollinaire for his poems featuring stunning visual typography. Like a series of calligrammes, this film is divided into individual poetic segments, covering the period from Ottinger's arrival in Paris in 1962 to her return to Germany seven years later. In the tradition of flanerie.
