Pastor
Country of origin
Germany

Inga Meißner is a pastor in St. Marien in Luebeck (aka “Mutter der Backsteingotik”) and interested in establishing new forms of rituals for baptism, wedding and other blessing-situations (“Projekt: segensreich”).

"While I studied theology in Hamburg, I used to go to cinema with my brother once a week. Then we preferred blockbusters, while now it´s more of independent films, indeed. We love to discuss films until now, which is 20 years later. So of course, I like films and cinema, but actually I didn´t deal with them on professional terms yet. But indeed I´m obsessed of stories and the way how to tell them. I’m a poetry-slammer and like to have a look at the structure of a story told."

Current issues

Mythical figures and images from the worlds of culture, sport and politics formed the subject matter of some of the films screened at DocFest Sheffield 2026. Peter Paul Huth explores them.
The extent to which the documentary film has evolved was once again evident this year at DocFest Sheffield (10–15 June 2026). The classic ideal of Direct Cinema or Cinéma Vérité has given way to a wide variety of cinematic possibilities. Report by Peter Paul Huth.
