film festival programming

I simply love sharring the film experience with the audience - creating platforms and events, which bring filmmakers and viewers together, discovering forgotten perls or crispy fresh talents, sparking a conversation and spreading inspirations. As a curator and programmer, I work both for international and local film events. Since 2021 I am Festival Coordinator and Curator at filmPOLSKA festival in Berlin. In the preceding years I'd worked closely with Documentary Campus on varied Industry Events at DOK Leipzig, MIPDoc, Sheffield Doc/Fest, Animation Production Days Stuttgart, CPX:DOX, Lemessos Film Festival, among others.

A one-off interactive film screening "You Can't Pretend This" at Wolf Kino in Berlin combined a film screening with a movement improvisation workshop led by the film protagonist. The event was part of a special distribution programme in frames of the German theatrical release of "Touch Me Not" (Golden Bear 2018). The case was later presented at Berlinale Talents 2019 in the programme "OPEN DEBATES: Participatory Films" focused on more inclusive strategies of arthouse promotion.
