From Ingrid Cavens start in cinema alongside Rainer Werner Fassbinder and the myriad extraordinary roles that followed, to her theatre performances and legendary concerts, the German actress and singer has been a force of inspiration and a vital collaborator for artists across five decades, including Werner Schroeter, Yves Saint Laurent, Jean-Jacques Schuhl, Daniel Schmid, Bertrand Bonello, Albert Serra, Claire Denis, Jean Eustache, Rita Azevedo Gomes, Raul Ruiz and Andre Techine.

On the occasion of FIDMarseilles 2024 retrospective honouring Caven, Fireflies Press is teaming up with the festival to publishIngrid Caven: I Am a Fiction, the second title of our joint monograph series One Two Many.

The book features a new in-depth interview with Caven by Cyril Neyrat and Tsveta Dobreva, a dossier of photographs and other material from her personal archive, a career-spanning essay by Erika Balsom, a conversation between Jean-Jacques Schuhl and Albert Serra, and creative texts on individual films by Philippe Azoury, Renato Berta, Bertrand Bonello, Luc Chessel, Bruce Hainley, Rachel Kushner, Nathalie Lger and Audrey Wollen.
