LEA BETHKE
FILMMAKER . INTIMACY COORDINATOR
My Motivation
I think essential to human nature is that we are story tellers. With a female gaze, I want to share my stories, naked and bold, and give a platform to others who's stories would otherwise be overlooked. I want to film with radical love, shine a light on new perspectives, ask penetrating questions, explore the essence of humankind, be curious about truths and let their beauty shine in every frame.
Art certainly has the task of interpreting reality, but beyond that, it has the pleasure of dreaming. I see it as my duty to dream and to encourage others to dare dreaming.
FICTION
The power of imagination. What the mind is able to invent. Glimpse at a selection of my works of fiction, imagined stories that encircle the world.
DOCUMENTARY
Stranger than Fiction.
Enjoy a selection of my documentary works, stories that the mind can't invent.
DANCE FILM
"Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance, when you're perfectly free." - Rumi -
Be moved by works of movement.
MUSIC VIDEO
“Without music, life would be a mistake.”
