Director Biography - Andrea Hackl

I am a film maker and choreographer/ performer. Choosing the human body as one main channel of expression, I create dance and interdisciplinary performances and producing short films. Be it my passion as performer / choreographer or my visual work / short films, my work is a celebration of the life force within us human beings.

My films are being presented in festivals world wide, of which SILENT FRAGMENTS has won two awards for Best Film @ Cinedanza Italy 2020 and Best Choreography @ InShadow 2020 and is being presented at this year’s edition of CINEDANS in Amsterdam. My last work BELE BELTZA has received the PEARL ARTIST PRIZE at POOL Festival ’21 and an honorable mention at Cinedanza and various awards for Best Experimental / Art Film. Further, I am exploring the medium of video / installation in my performances.

My sensorial and kinetic experience and perception are essential to my creative path, exploration and who I am. I love to play with multiple layers, to journey between the narrative / rational and the abstract / sensorial. Working with film opens up a special dimension and allows me to merge the physical / kinetic with the visual. A very interesting place of exploration is for me where performance + film meet, exploring the medium of video and installation.
