'Behind the Looking Glass' is a self-portrait made by combining a series of film clips dating back from 1965 to the present-day (showing how other people perceive the author) and introspectively made video footage of the author, made over the past decade. The film is a collage and a dialogue; it confronts the author's life and those of twenty or so characters that she played in her career. Dealing with her own character, the author combines clips from internationally known films in which she had prominent roles and recent video recordings of her face in a mirror – thus confronting two periods and two positions – the ones of observation and observer.
