ABOUT
I am a filmmaker, artistic researcher, writer and educator focussing on topics such as abortion, reproductive justice, queer and feminist film/TV, body politics and the situated gaze. I am based in Berlin and Vienna. Next to my artistic and writing practice, I am a PhD candidate at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and a guest researcher at the Film University Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF. I am involved in different queer film and pro-choice groups.
For my work, I got some awards and scholarships and if you want to apply for those, I can share my applications and experiences with you: ÖAW DOC-Stipendium, Marietta Blau-Stipendium des OeAD, Recherchestipendium des Senats Berlin, Künstlerinnenförderung Film/Video des Senats Berlin, Cathrin Pichler Preis, BKA Startstipendium Filmkunst, Pixel, Bytes & Film – Artist in Residence, Theodor Körner Förderpreis, Ö1 Talentestipendium.
If I have time, I can also share my knowledge about art schools, website building and informal solutions to institutional barriers.
