Page "Inge Morath" Paragraph 21

During the 1980s and 1990s, Morath continued to pursue both assignments and independent projects.

The film Copyright by Inge Morath was made by German filmmaker Sabine Eckhard in 1992, and was one of several films selected for a presentation of Magnum Films at the Berlin Film Festival in 2007.

Eckhard filmed Morath at home and in her studio, and in New York and Paris with her colleagues, including Cartier-Bresson, Elliott Erwitt and others.

In 2002, working with film director Regina Strassegger, Morath fulfilled a long-held wish to revisit the lands of her ancestors, along the borderlands of Styria and Slovenia.

This mountainous region, once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, had become the faultline between two conflicting ideologies after World War II and until 1991, when attempts at rapprochement lead to conflict on both sides of the border.

The book Last Journey ( 2002 ), and Strasseger's film Grenz Räume ( Border Space, 2002 ), document Morath's visits to her homeland during the final years of her life.
