Sophie Watzlawick

Sophie Watzlawick is a Berlin-based film artist. Alongside her work as a filmmaker, she works artistically and technically on various projects in the fields of film, theater, performance and music. She is an active member and co-founder of the analog film collective LaborBerlin. Her film and sound work is based on sociopolitical issues viewed through the prism of philosophical and poetic concepts. The strong contrast between rigid social structures and the human dimension, also inseparable from life path, is of particular interest to her. She is interested in the hidden, in the signs that emerge in the dark, in those places whose ground is still unknown, and in seeing events that are commonly perceived as static in a new way. Her films are shown internationally at various festivals, museums and experimental music venues and distributed by Arsenal Verleih (Berlin) and Light Cone (Paris).
