Early life
Karola Gramann was born in Gerolzhofen in 1948 and grew up in Würzburg. In the 1960s, she moved to Frankfurt am Main to train as a book manufacturer. There she first completed a traineeship at Suhrkamp Verlag and later moved to S. Fischer Verlag as a production assistant.[1] She completed her A-levels as a second-chance student and studied English, American Studies and Modern German Literature in Frankfurt am Main and London from 1975 to 1983.[1][2]
Feminist film and cinema work
Karola Gramann has been publishing essays and books on film since 1975. She curates and presents films herself, always focusing on "resistant", hidden cinema:[3] During her studies, for example, she translated the key text of feminist film theory "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema" (1975) by Laura Mulvey into German.[4] She worked internationally as a freelance film curator, including for the Frauenfilmtage in der Schweiz (Die Frau mit der Kamera, 1985) and for the German Goethe-Institut: she also showed the short film program Seeking, Finding, Remembering (1987) with film productions from the Federal Republic of Germany from 1948 to 1984 in Southeast Asia, Southeast Europe and the USA.[5] Until 1983, Karola Gramann was a member of the editorial staff of the feminist film magazine Frauen und Film, founded in 1974 in Berlin by the director Helke Sander (since 1983 Stroemfeld Verlag, Frankfurt am Main) and has been a staff member and author of the internationally important and in Europe only periodical on the subject of feminism and film ever since. She was also one of the founding editors of "Feministische Studien" (De Gruyter Verlag, Berlin). The first issue under the editorship of Karola Gramann and Heide Schlüpmann appeared with the title "In den Brüchen der Zeit" in 1982.[6]
