The many faces of Anna Sten

The films that Anna Sten left her mark on with her presence and acting were made in Ukraine and Russia when they were two Soviet republics, as well as in Germany, Great Britain, and the USA. They are part of the national film heritage of all these countries and, beyond that, part of a film heritage that has no nationality but belongs to those who keep these films alive in their memories and have an imaginary home. In contrast, the artist Anna Sten—as she sings in "Stürme der Leidenschaft" (1932)—belonged to no one but herself.
