Anouk Witkowska Hiffler is a French-German filmmaker from Paris. She moved to London in 2020 and graduated from the University of Westminster Film BA in 2023. She writes, directs and produces comedy, and more specifically absurd and political comedies. Born in a queer family, she is really interested in womxn-led narratives. Her last short films include Drumming and Let it Brie which she both wrote and directed.
She has recently been shortlisted with her documentary Rainbow Kids for the Iris Prize Documentary Fund 2024 and the Sheffield Queer Realities Lab. Her spec advert for Spotify was also shortlisted for the Future Lions competition and won the Young Arrows Best Student Commercial Award.
Additionally, she really likes cheese.
This film is about a young girl's discovery of her bi-sexuality. She's always liked guys, just like her friend. It's almost a default setting. But that feeling when she sees Melody is something new. She's just so... cool.
Being bisexual can be confusing, especially as a teenager. With this short, I want to depict a fun account of what could be someone's journey to discovering their sexuality!
Thank you for watching Bi-Nocular Panic!
