BOLLER STREET 
dir. Cuyler Ballenger, USA, 2025, 14 min
Boller Street is a fictionalized autobiography tracing the journey of my fifth great-grandmother, Yetta Ballenberg, the only member of her family to leave the German village of Jebenhausen for the United States in the early 19th century. The film blends camcorder footage with speculative narration to reflect on absence and fragmentation in Ashkenazi Jewish memory. Inspired by works such as Shoah, Occupied City, and Summer in Baden-Baden, it shifts from archival tone to personal voice, merging present observation with familial research. Boller Street becomes a meditation on time, diaspora, and the labor required to reconstruct a history scattered by distance and erasure.
