CURRENT MISSION

Making films means opening new horizons, for myself and the world. I love it!

ABOUT ME

I'm a documentary filmmaker with a passion for autobiographic and point-of-view films.

My friends would describe me as a visionary, adventurous, meshuga, down-to-earth and workaholic ;)

Every new person, every new day, and every new place is a new world full of possibilities. Ready or not, here I come!!

Interests

travelling around the world.
watching films at open-air cinemas.
singing soul and blues songs in the kitchen, on the streets, for my friends & beloved...just everywhere!
reading, learning, breathing cultural studies stuff.
making documentaries on identity, racism, human rights...

Music, Movies, and Books

a bout de souffle, pierrot le fou & histoire(s) du cinéma (jean-luc godard), exils, vengo, gadjo dilo & swing (tony gatlif), gegen die wand, im juli & crossing the bridge-the sound of istanbul (fatih akin),
taxi driver, raging bull (scorsese), léon (luc besson), lost in translation (sofia coppola), 5x2 (francois ozon) and many more....I am also a big fan of pedro almodóvar!!

music...could not live without it. I love hip hop, soul and blues. My favourites are mos def, talib kweli, the roots, erykah badu, jill scott, aaliyah and sezen aksu.
but when going to dance in a club I prefer drum'n'bass, ska, balkanbeats (shantel DISKO DISKO PARTIZANI!!!) and minimal.

reading is also a need like drinking water. orhan pamuk, gabriel garcia marquez, isabel allende, javier marias are the writers I am addictive of.
