Gabi Schweiger's TV documentary "Viva la Vulva", for which I did the camera work, was nominated for a Franz Grabner Award in the category best TV documentary. In 2020 the Diagonale was cancelled because of Covid-19, this year it will take place from June 8 to 13 - and the nominations from 2020 remain valid! I am very happy about that!
In spring, filming for the cinema comedy "Greece" continues. Directed by Eva Spreitzhofer, written by Thomas Stipsits, e&a Film, with Thomas Stipsits, Mona Seefried, Erwin Steinhauer, Kathi Straßer, Claudia Kottal, Gery Seidl and others.
As part of the FC Gloria mentoring program, I mentor Annette König, who works as an independent cinematographer in Vienna. Originally from Tübingen, she studied design at Münster University of Applied Sciences, became enthusiastic about what Filmwerkstatt Münster had to offer, and completed her studies with a film documentary as her thesis. She learned the actual craft at AVE Filmproduktion Berlin, where she was commissioned to travel the world on challenging field shoots for 350 episodes of the arte program X:enius. In 2012, she founded her own production company in Vienna and works primarily for TV stations in the documentary field, but also produces PR formats and animations. The association FC Gloria, based in Vienna, has been promoting and representing the interests of women in the film industry since 2010.
