(Slovenian, 1975) Graduated from Film Academy in Ljubljana, Slovenia as Film and TV Director in 2003. Since 2001 is active as Writer, Director and Editor. Among her films are two feature films (Blind Spot, 2002 and Teah, 2007), as well as several documentaries and short fiction films. Hanna Slak gained international acclaim with her short student films, later to be confirmed as one of the emerging talents of her generation with her intense and dark feature film debut Blind Spot, shown at more than 70 international film festivals and winning several awards. Her second feature film, a forest fable for children, Teah, has so far been distributed in Slovenia, Poland, Croatia and Serbia. It is also the first film in Slovenian language to ever gain the Eurimages funding. Hanna Slak's interests in film making range from the classical writer/director author cinema to short experimental and formal researches. In her documentaries Hanna Slak searches for an expression allowing the audience to participate in the re-creation of multi-personal subjective realities. The focus of her attention are the people and their differing coexisting views and opinions of the same event, notion or idea. In her fictional work Hanna Slak constructs intense character based stories, where the narrative is propelled by the strong and clearly defined visual and auditive style. Since 2007 Hanna Slak lives and works in Berlin, Germany.Blind%20Spot.htmlTeah.htmlshapeimage_1_link_0shapeimage_1_link_1
