Britta Schoening
I work as a freelance director and author in my hometown Berlin. After studying politics (BA) at the FU Berlin, I studied directing with a focus on documentary film at the Film Academy Baden-Württemberg and the UCINE in Buenos Aires and received my diploma in 2019. My feature-length documentaries FRAGMENTS OF MY MOTHER, #RESISTANCE and MOZART RECYCLED were shown at international film festivals and on German television.
After my experimental mini web series QUARANTIME, NEONSTAUB was my documentary series debut.
